Abstract
The phase separation of two-dimensional binary mixtures has been studied through numerical Langevin simulations based on a Ginzburg-Landau free energy. We have considered not symmetric mixtures with and without imposed shear flow. In the sheared case our main results are as follows: (1) domains are distorted by the flow; (2) the structure factor has four peaks; (3) excess viscosity shows a peak whose position is independent of shear rate but its height decreases increasing shear rate.
