Controlling permeation in electrically-deforming liquid crystal network films: a dynamical Landau theory
Guido L. A. Kusters, Nicholas B. Tito, Cornelis Storm +1
Liquid crystal networks exploit the coupling between the responsivity of liquid-crystalline mesogens, e.g., to electric fields, and the (visco)elastic properties of a polymer netwo…
Dynamical Landau-de Gennes Theory for Electrically-Responsive Liquid Crystal Networks
Guido L. A. Kusters, Inge P. Verheul, Nicholas B. Tito +2
Liquid crystal networks combine the orientational order of liquid crystals with the elastic properties of polymer networks, leading to a vast application potential in the field of…
Shear Thickening of Dense Suspensions: The Role of Friction
Vishnu Sivadasan, Eric Lorenz, Alfons G. Hoekstra +1
Shear thickening of particle suspensions is characterized by a transition between lubricated and frictional contacts between the particles. Using 3D numerical simulations, we study…
Dynamical demixing of a binary mixture under sedimentation
A. S. Nunes, R. C. V. Coelho, V. C. Braz +2
We investigate the sedimentation dynamics of a binary mixture, the species of which differ by their Stokes coefficients but are identical otherwise. We analyze the sedimentation dy…
Color-gradient lattice Boltzmann model with nonorthogonal central moments: Hydrodynamic melt-jet breakup simulations
Shimpei Saito, Alessandro De Rosis, Alessio Festuccia +3
We develop a lattice Boltzmann (LB) model for immiscible two-phase flow simulations with central moments (CMs). This successfully combines a three-dimensional nonorthogonal CM-base…
