Abstract

Simulated scattered light intensity plots are calculated for a soft sphere inverse-12 system subjected to a shear and are compared to experimental plots for a colloidal suspension under approximately equivalent conditions. The simulated plots were obtained by a Fourier transform of the radial distribution function. The two sets show points of striking similarity: The Debye–Scherrer rings become elliptical when both systems are subjected to the shear, and the light intensity around the rings is a function of polar angle. An interesting feature is the degree to which the experimental plots display non-Newtonian characteristics of the suspension. Overall, the work is a direct comparison of the results of a computer simulation with real experimental data. Suggestions for future work are given.
