Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 3305–3308 (1990)Deformation, growth, and order in sheared spinodal decompositionReceived 25 September 1990; published in the issue dated 24 December 1990 The effect of hydrodynamics on growth is studied by numerical simulation of two-dimensional phase separation in a simple shear flow. The simulations are performed with a momentum-conserving lattice-gas model of an immiscible binary fluid. The results reveal that an anisotropic anomaly that was previously observed in experimentally obtained structure functions is due to a shear-induced, smecticlike ordering of the domains. © 1990 The American Physical Society URL:
