We study the dynamics of a multi-species colloidal fluid in the full position-momentum phase space. We include both inertia and hydrodynamic interactions, which strongly influence the non-equilibrium properties of the system. Under minimal assumptions, we derive a dynamical density functional theory (DDFT), and, using an efficient numerical scheme based on spectral methods for integro-differential equations, demonstrate its excellent agreement with the full underlying Langevin equations. We utilise the DDFT formalism to elucidate the crucial effects of hydrodynamic interactions in multi-species systems.

A positive definite matrix M has an eigendecomposition M = U−1DU with U a unitary matrix and D a diagonal matrix with entries dj. The square root of M is defined as M1/2 = U−1D1/2U, with D1/2 the diagonal matrix with entries
$d_j^{1/2}$
