We carry out numerical simulations to study the behavior of an athermalmixture of frictionless circular disks and elongated rods in two dimensions,under three different types of global linear deformation at a finite strainrate: (i) simple shearing, (ii) pure shearing, and (iii) isotropic compression.We find that the fluctuations induced by such deformations lead to depletionforces that cause rods to group in parallel oriented clusters for the cases ofsimple and pure shear, but not for isotropic compression. For simple shearing,we find that as the fraction of rods increases, this clustering increases,leading to an increase in the average rate of rotation of the rods, and adecrease in the magnitude of their nematic ordering.
