Binary fluids under steady shear in three dimensions
arXiv:0707.3874 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.76.030501
Abstract
We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the steady shearing of a binary fluid mixture with full hydrodynamics in three dimensions. Contrary to some theoretical scenarios, a dynamical steady state is attained with finite correlation lengths in all three spatial directions. Using large simulations we obtain at moderately high Reynolds numbers apparent scaling expon ents comparable to those found by us previously in 2D. However, in 3D there may be a crossover to different behavior at low Reynolds number: accessing this regime requires even larger computational resource than used here.
