Simple dipolar fluids under shear flow

Simulations of a simple dipolar fluid under planar Couette shear flow were performed using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics. This fluid consisted of either Lennard-Jones or soft-sphere particles each embedded with a point dipole. Under shear flow, the fluid's spatial structure becomes disto...
