Abstract

A Brownian dynamics algorithm described in the companion paper [1] is used to simulate sheared suspensions of particles interacting via a depletion potential. The shear and interaction forces interplay to give a complex non-equilibrium phase diagram: a variety of shear induced agglomerates form at low shear rate, but, for shear rates above a non-equilibrium phase boundary the agglomerates develop interfaces predominantly orientated parallel to the plane of shear gradient and flow.
