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