An excellent review, providing a detailed account of the understanding that has emerged from the computer simulation studies of colloidal gel networks in the past 10 years or so. The review also discusses some aspects of the formation of transient gel networks in the context of percolation theory, using the sticky hard-sphere model of Baxter.

The paper discusses and questions the validity of assuming a uniform shear flow field for the suspending fluid, in simulations involving gel networks. A new 'non-affine' model is presented to overcome some of the objections.

The paper builds on the previous work of the authors to highlight many interesting phenomena that occur and contribute to the shear-thickening behaviour observed in colloidal dispersions. In particular, the important role played by dissipative lubrication forces in inducing shear-thickening behaviour is elucidated.
