We present a detailed numerical study of effective interactions betweenmicron-sized silica spheres, induced by highly charged zirconia nanoparticles.It is demonstrated that the effective interactions are consistent with arecently discovered mechanism for colloidal stabilization. In accordance withthe experimental observations, small nanoparticle concentrations induce aneffective repulsion that counteracts the intrinsic van der Waals attractionbetween the colloids and thus stabilizes the suspension. At higher nanoparticleconcentrations an attractive potential is recovered, resulting in reentrantgelation. Monte Carlo simulations of this highly size-asymmetric mixture aremade possible by means of a geometric cluster Monte Carlo algorithm. Acomparison is made to results obtained from the Ornstein-Zernike equations withthe hypernetted-chain closure
