Recent significant advances in theoretical liquid crystalline rheology are presented.
Dynamic simulations are performed using a complete theory which include the three major …

We describe a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate liquid crystal hydrodynamics. The
equations of motion are written in terms of a tensor order parameter. This allows both the …

Materials such as cellulose fibers, mesoporous silica, lyotropic liquid crystals, and brain
white matter consist of more or less ordered arrangements of anisotropic structural elements …

The macroscopic physical properties of a liquid crystalline material depend on both the
properties of the individual crystallites and the details of their spatial arrangement. We …

We study the growth of aligned domains in nematic liquid crystals. Results are obtained
solving the Beris-Edwards equations of motion using the lattice Boltzmann approach. Spatial …

We present a lattice Boltzmann algorithm for the hydrodynamics of liquid crystals in the
isotropic and nematic phases. The coupling between the tensor order parameter and the …

A review of thermodynamic and flow liquid crystal models is presented and applied to a wide
range of biological liquid crystals (BLCs), including helicoidal plywoods, biopolymer …

We study a fully developed cree** flow of nematic liquid crystals in a curved pipe with a
circular cross-section. A special limit of zero Deborah number and an infinite Ericksen …

We study the microstructure formation and defects dynamics arising in liquid crystalline
polymers (LCPs) in plane shear flow by a kinetic–hydrodynamic coupled model. The kinetic …

A glyph-based method for visualizing the nematic liquid crystal alignment tensor is
introduced. Unlike previous approaches, the glyph is based upon physically-linked metrics …
