Structural signature for shear thinning. (A) Histogram of for 100,000 steady-state configurations of the suspension with and (bars), fitted to a Gaussian function (line) with average value and SD . (B) The xy component of the Brownian stress contribution as a function of for suspensions with and (empty squares), compared with . (C) The layering of the suspension as described by scalar as a function of for suspensions with and (empty squares), compared with , the steady-state average of at different . Each data point shown in B is the average of 100 independent simulations, and the bars show the SD.
