Scacchi, Alberto Archer, A. J. Brader, Joseph M. 2017-12-26 Using dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) methods we investigate the laning instability of a sheared colloidal suspension. The nonequilibrium ordering at the laning transition is driven by nonaffine particle motion arising from interparticle interactions. Starting from a DDFT which incorporates the nonaffine motion, we perform a linear stability analysis that enables identification of the regions of parameter space where lanes form. We illustrate our general approach by applying it to a simple one- component fluid of soft penetrable particles. application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/306417 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/306417/files/bra_ddf.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1103/PhysRevE.96.062616 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined Physical Review E. - 2017, vol. 96, no. 6, p. 062616 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/53 Dynamical density functional theory analysis of the laning instability in sheared soft matter http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
