Abstract

In this article we use a lattice-Boltzmann simulation to examine the effects of shear flow on an equilibrium droplet in a phase separated binary mixture. We find that large drops break up as the shear is increased but small drops dissolve. We also show how the tip-streaming, observed for deformed drops, leads to a state of dynamic equilibrium.
