Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) simulations of meso-phase formation in block co polymer melts under simple steady shear are performed in the framework of dynamic density-functional theory. The most stable ''perpendicular '' lamellar ordering is observed. The difference between 2D and 3D ord ering in a model system is described. Lamellae reorientation and break up are discussed.
