Abstract: We study the contribution of Brownian motion to the viscosity of a suspension of spherical particles immersed in an incompressible fluid. We evaluate expressions derived from linear response theory applied to the generalized Smoluchowski equation and from a cluster expansion of the response. This leads to results obtained earlier by Batchelor for hard spheres and by Russel for more general pair interactions.
