| Yhteenveto: | Lattice Boltzmann simulations are used to study the phase ordering of a system quenched into a lamellar phase. Hydrodynamic modes are found to be essential for the fluid to avoid frozen metastable configurations and reach the equilibrium state. We also show that a shear imposed on an equilibrium array of droplets can induce a micellar-lamellar transition. |
