Cavitation, the nucleation of vapour in liquids, is ubiquitous in fluid dynamics, and is often
implicated in a myriad of industrial and biomedical applications. Although extensively …

Topological defects are a ubiquitous phenomenon across different physical systems. A
better understanding of defects can be helpful in elucidating the physical behaviors of many …

Nematic multiparticle collision dynamics is used to simulate disclination ring defects around
spherocylinders suspended in a liquid crystal. A solvent-solute interaction potential is …

We study the morphology of the Saturn ring defect and director structure around a colloidal
particle with normal anchoring conditions and within the flow of the nematic host phase …

Liquid-crystalline phases are known for their unique properties, ie, the combination of fluidity
and long-range orientational and/or positional order. The presence of a colloidal particle …

Colloidal particles in nematic liquid crystals show a beautiful variety of complex phenomena
with promising applications. Their dynamical behaviour is determined by topology and …

Elongated colloids with a permanent magnetic moment and immersed in a nematic liquid
crystal are studied numerically using a mesoscopic scheme that supports fluctuations …

We demonstrate that porous nematic microfluidics is a potential route for the generation of
nematic umbilic defects and regular umbilic defect lattices. By using numerical modeling we …

In this review, we focus on heterogeneous, thermotropic liquid crystal (LC) mixtures our
group has studied with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Systems considered …

Liquid crystals (LCs) have attracted enormous interest because of the variety of their phases
and richness of their applications. Here, we revisit a selection of recent results that highlight …
