We use numerical simulations to study the flow of a bidisperse mixture of athermal, frictionless, soft-core two-dimensional spherocylinders driven by a uniform steady-state shear strain applied at a fixed finite rate. Energy dissipation occurs via a viscous drag with respect to a uniformly sheared host fluid, giving a simple model for flow in a non-Brownian suspension and resulting in a Newtonian rheology. We study the resulting pressureand deviatoric shear stressof the interacting spherocylinders as a function of packing fraction, strain rate, and a parameterthat measures the asphericity of the particles;is varied to consider the range from nearly circular disks to elongated rods. We consider the direction of anisotropy of the stress tensor, the macroscopic friction, and the divergence of the transport coefficientasis increased to the jamming transition. From a phenomenological analysis of Herschel-Bulkley rheology above jamming, we estimateas a function of asphericityand show that the variation ofwithis the main cause for differences in rheology asis varied; when plotted as, rheological curves for differentqualitatively agree. However, a detailed scaling analysis of the divergence offor our most elongated particles suggests that the jamming transition of spherocylinders may be in a different universality class than that of circular disks. We also compute the number of contacts per particlein the system and show that the value at jammingis a nonmonotonic function ofthat is always smaller than the isostatic value. We measure the probability distribution of contacts per unit surface lengthat polar anglewith respect to the spherocylinder spine and find that asthis distribution seems to diverge at, giving a finite limiting probability for contacts on the vanishingly small flat sides of the spherocylinder. Finally, we consider the variation of the average contact force as a function of location on the particle surface.
