23. Recently, there have been many studies of the system size dependence of the velocity fluctuations 1628. In the present case, we find that they increase up to (Formula presented) with no evidence of saturation, in accordance with the lattice-Boltzmann simulations of Ladd 20.

40. The exact form of the direct two-particle interaction at close range in the fluid is much more complicated. However, in the present case we have checked that the momentum exchange through interparticle collisions is very small as compared to the Stokesian term. We also note that for the relatively low volume fractions used here the mean distances between interparticle collisions are typically much larger than the particle radius. This indicates that the detailed form of the interparticle interaction is not important here.

44. We note that due to numerical discretization (Formula presented) has a small finite value when extracted from the data.
