  "abstract": "We simulate by lattice Boltzmann the steady shearing of a binary fluid mixture undergoing phase separation with full hydrodynamics in two dimensions. Contrary to some theoretical scenarios, a dynamical steady state is attained with finite domain lengths $L_{x,y}$ in the directions ($x,y)$ of velocity and velocity gradient. Apparent scaling exponents are estimated as $L_{x}\\sim\\dot{\\gamma}^{-2/3}$ and $L_{y}\\sim\\dot{\\gamma}^{-3/4}$. We discuss the relative roles of diffusivity and hydrodynamics in attaining steady state.",
