Supercooled Liquids Under Shear: Theory and Simulation

Abstract

We analyze the behavior of supercooled fluids under shear both theoretically and numerically. Theoretically, we generalize the mode-coupling theory of supercooled fluids to systems under stationary shear flow. Our starting point is the set of generalized fluctuating hydrodynamic equations with a convection term. A nonlinear integro-differential equation for the intermediate scattering function is constructed. This theory is applied to a two-dimensional colloidal suspension. The shear rate dependence of the intermediate scattering function and the shear viscosity is analyzed. We have also performed extensive numerical simulations of a two-dimensional binary liquid with soft-core interactions near, but above, the glass transition temperature. Both theoretical and numerical results show: (i) A drastic reduction of the structural relaxation time and the shear viscosity due to shear. Both the structural relaxation time and the viscosity decrease as ${\dot{\gamma }}^{-\nu }$ with an exponent $\nu \le 1$, where $\dot{\gamma }$ is the shear rate. (ii) Almost isotropic dynamics regardless of the strength of the anisotropic shear flow.
