The viscosity of a monolayer of a suspension of bimodally distributed hard spheres is determined for area fractions, φa, from 0.15 to 0.74 with different particle size ratios, λ (diameter of large sphere/diameter of small spheres=1, 2, and 4), and different fractions of small spheres of total solids, ξ (0.07, 0.27, 0.49, 0.64, and 0.83). Particle distributions are generated by a Monte Carlo technique and the hydrodynamic interactions are calculated by Stokesian dynamics. These results, which correspond to the high‐frequency dynamic viscosities, are compared with those from the dynamic simulation of hydrodynamically interacting spherical particles [Chang and Powell, J. Fluid Mech. 253, 1 (1993)]. Dynamic simulation is found to yield higher relative viscosities, ηr, as compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulation at high concentrations. This results from the absence of long clusters that completely cross a periodic cell in the Monte Carlo simulations that are present in the dynamic simulations. When ...
