Abstract

Soft Glassy Materials, Non Linear Rheology, Lattice Kinetic models, frustrated phase separation} We present numerical simulations based on a Boltzmann kinetic model with competing interactions, aimed at characterizating the rheological properties of soft-glassy materials. The lattice kinetic model is shown to reproduce typical signatures of driven soft-glassy flows in confined geometries, such as Herschel-Bulkley rheology, shear-banding and histeresys. This lends further credit to the present lattice kinetic model as a valuable tool for the theoretical/computational investigation of the rheology of driven soft-glassy materials under confinement.
