Code for simulating suspensions of spherical particles in a fluid. The hydrodynamic interactions are modeled using lubrication. Variable Stribeck-curve dependent frictional forces are also introduced. Contact friction depend on load, sliding velocity and interstitail liquid viscosity. Particle spins are also considered.
