  The hydrodynamic resistance matrix is an important quantity for describing
the dynamics of colloidal particles. This matrix encodes the shape- and
size-dependent hydrodynamic properties of a particle suspended in a simple
liquid at low Reynolds number and determines the particle's diffusion tensor.
For this reason, the hydrodynamic resistance matrix is typically needed when
modeling the motion of free purely Brownian, externally driven, or
self-propelled colloidal particles or the behavior of dilute suspensions of
such particles on the basis of Langevin equations, Smoluchowski equations,
classical dynamical density functional theory, or other appropriate methods. So
far, however, the hydrodynamic resistance matrix was available only for a few
particle shapes. In this article, we therefore present the hydrodynamic
resistance matrices for various particle shapes that are relevant for current
research, including apolar and polar as well as convex and partially concave
shapes. The elements of the hydrodynamic resistance matrices are given as
functions of shape parameters like the aspect ratio of the corresponding
particle so that the results apply not only to discrete but instead to
continuous sets of particle shapes. This work shall stimulate and support
future studies on colloidal particles with anisometric shapes.
