Abstract Single-valued hydrodynamic coefficients of a rigid particle can be calculated from existing theories and computer programs for either bead models or ellipsoids. Starting from these coefficients, we review the procedures for the calculation of complex solution properties depending on rotational diffusion, such as the decays of electric birefringence and fluorescence anisotropy. We also describe the calculation of the scattering form factor of bead models. The hydrodynamic coefficients and solution properties can be combined to give universal, shape-dependent functions, which were initially intended for ellipsoidal particles, and are extended here for the most general case. We have implemented all these developments in a new computer program, SOLPRO, for calculation of SOLution PROperties, which can be linked to existing software for bead models or ellipsoids.
