Spatial correlations in sheared isothermal liquids: from elastic particles to granular particles.
Spatial correlations in sheared isothermal liquids for both elastic and granular cases are theoretically investigated. Using the generalized fluctuating hydrodynamics, correlation functions for both the microscopic scale and the macroscopic scale are obtained. We find the existence of long-range correlations obeying power laws. The validity of our theoretical predictions has been verified from molecular-dynamics simulation.
