Phase behavior of shear-deformed confined fluids

5 Phase behavior of shear-deformed confined fluids 

Because of the similarity between the lattice fluid calculations and the MC simulations for the continuous model, it seems instructive to study the phase behavior in the latter if the confined fluid is exposed to a shear strain. This may be done quantitatively by calculating p as a function of n and as-. For sufficiently low pi, one expects a gas-like phase to exist along a subcritical isotherm (see Fig. 4.13) defined as the set of points (T = const)
