In this article we use a lattice-Boltzmann simulation to examine the effects
of shear flow on a equilibrium droplet in a phase separated binary mixture. We
find that large drops break up as the shear is increased but small drops
dissolve. We also show how the tip-streaming, observed for deformed drops,
leads to a state of dynamic equilibrium.
