Numerical study of segregating binary mixtures in shear flow A. Lamura We study numerically the phase separation of a binary mixture in uniform shear flow in the framework of the continuum convection-diffusion equation based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy for different temperatures both in 2 and 3 space dimensions. Our main results show the existence of domains with two typical sizes, whose relative abundance changes with time producing logarithmic- time periodic oscillations in the behavior of the average domains sizes and of other rheological observables. |
