The diffusionequation for independent Brownian particles suspended in a fluid undergoing plane Couetteshear flow is solved in Fourier space by means of the Campbell–Baker–Hausdorff expansion for the product of exponentials of noncommuting operators. Explicit solutions are derived and numerically evaluated for an initial Gaussian distribution with no source and for a continuous stationary source with a Gaussian spatial distribution. For the latter problem, the tensor describing the curvature of the steady‐state distribution at the origin is analyzed in some detail and is shown to possess a dependence on shear rate very similar to that of the pressure tensor obtained in computer simulations of simple liquids under shear by Hanley and Evans.
