We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the steady shearing of a binary fluid mixture with full hydrodynamics in three dimensions. Contrary to some theoretical scenarios, a dynamical steady state is attained with finite correlation lengths in all three spatial directions. Using large simulations we obtain at moderately high Reynolds numbers apparent scaling exponents comparable to those found by us previously in 2D. However, in 3D there may be a crossover to different behavior at low Reynolds number: accessing this regime requires even larger computational resource than used here. PACS numbers: 64.75.+g, 47.11.Qr Systems that are not in thermal equilibrium play a central role in modern statistical physics [1]. They include two important classes: those evolving towards Boltzmann equilibrium (e.g., by phase separation following a temperature quench), and those maintained in nonequilibrium by continuous driving (such as a shear flow). Of fundamental interest, and surprising physical subtlety, are systems combining both features -such as a binary fluid undergoing phase separation in the presence of shear. Here a central issue [2,3] is whether coarsening continues indefinitely, as it does without shear, or whether a nonequilibrium steady state (NESS) is reached, in which the characteristic length scales L x,y,z of the fluid domain structure attain finiteγ-dependent values at late times. (We define the mean velocity as u x =γy so that x, y, z are velocity, velocity gradient and vorticity directions respectively;γ is the shear rate.)Our recent simulations, building on earlier work of others [4,5], have shown that in two dimensions (2D), a NESS is indeed achieved [6]. In 3D, the situation is more subtle. Fourier components of the composition field whose wavevectors lie along the vorticity direction feel no direct effect of the mean advective velocity [2,7]. Therefore it might be possible for coarsening to proceed indefinitely by pumping through tubes of fluid oriented along z [3]. Another crucial difference is that in 2D fluid bicontinuity is possible only by fine tuning to a percolation threshold at 50:50 composition (assuming fluids of equal viscosity) so that the generic situation is one of droplets. (Indeed, for topological reasons, droplets are implicated even at threshold [4].) In contrast, in 3D both fluids remain continuously connected across the sample throughout a broad composition window either side of 50:50.In 3D experiments, saturating length scales are reportedly reached after a period of anisotropic domain growth [2,8]. However, the extreme elongation of domains along the flow direction means that, even in experiments, finite size effects could play a role in such saturation [9]. Theories in which the velocity does not fluctuate, but does advect the diffusive fluctuations of the concentration field, predict instead indefinite coarsening, with length scales L y,z scaling asγ-independent powers of the time t since quench, and (typically) L x ∼γtL y [9]. As emphasized in [6], in real fluids, however, the velocit...
