Abstract
The dynamics of a system quenched into a state with lamellar order and subject to an uniform shear flow is solved in the large-N limit. The description is based on the Brazovskii free energy and the evolution follows a convection-diffusion equation. Lamellas order preferentially with the normal along the vorticity direction. Typical lengths grow as gammat(5/4) (with logarithmic corrections) in the flow direction and logarithmically in the shear direction. Dynamical scaling holds in the two-dimensional case while it is violated in D=3.
