Abstract
Although shear-induced isotropic-to-lamellar transitions in ternary systems of oil, water and surfactant have been observed experimentally and predicted theoretically by simple models for some time now, their numerical simulation has not been achieved so far. In this work we demonstrate that a recently introduced hydrodynamic lattice-gas model of amphiphilic fluids is well suited for this purpose: the two-dimensional version of this model does indeed exhibit a shear-induced isotropic-to-lamellar phase transition.
