  Although shear-induced isotropic-to-lamellar transitions in ternary systems
of oil, water and surfactant have been observed experimentally and predicted
theoretically by simple models for some time now, their numerical simulation
has not been achieved so far. In this work we demonstrate that a recently
introduced hydrodynamic lattice-gas model of amphiphilic fluids is well suited
for this purpose: the two-dimensional version of this model does indeed exhibit
a shear-induced isotropic-to-lamellar phase transition.
