The lattice sum of the Rotne–Prager hydrodynamic mobility tensor is cast into a rapidly converging form by an Ewald summation technique. The result has a direct application to the problem of how to deal with the long range of hydrodynamic interactions in computer simulations of macromolecular solutions.

- The point is that the screened mobility results from Darcy's equation for flow through a bed of particles which are immobilized by external forces and is a consequence of the absorption of fluid momentum at the particle surfaces. In this respect such porous media are fundamentally different from suspensions of freely moving particles which merely scatter the momentum flow.
