  A hybrid mesoscopic multi-particle collision model is used to study
diffusion-influenced reaction kinetics. The mesoscopic particle dynamics
conserves mass, momentum and energy so that hydrodynamic effects are fully
taken into account. Reactive and non-reactive interactions with catalytic
solute particles are described by full molecular dynamics. Results are
presented for large-scale, three-dimensional simulations to study the influence
of diffusion on the rate constants of the A+C<==>B+C reaction. In the limit of
a dilute solution of catalytic C particles, the simulation results are compared
with diffusion equation approaches for both the irreversible and reversible
reaction cases. Simulation results for systems where the volume fraction of
catalytic spheres is high are also presented, and collective interactions among
reactions on catalytic spheres that introduce volume fraction dependence in the
rate constants are studied.
