Tensor gradient flow for rod-like liquid crystals from molecular model with closure approximation by quasi-entropy
Yongyong Cai, Jie Xu, Haixin Zhang
In tensor dynamics for liquid crystals derived from molecular models, a common problem is closure approximation. For rod-like molecules, the Bingham closure has proved to outperfor…
Frame hydrodynamics of biaxial nematics from molecular-theory-based tensor models
Sirui Li, Jie Xu
Starting from a dynamic tensor model about two second-order tensors, we derive the frame hydrodynamics for the biaxial nematic phase using the Hilbert expansion. The coefficients i…
Onsager-theory-based dynamic model for nematic phases of bent-core molecules and star molecules
Jie Xu, Pingwen Zhang
We construct the molecular model and the tensor model for the dynamics of the nematic phases of bent-core molecules and star molecules in incompressible fluid. We start from the mo…
Computing optimal interfacial structure of modulated phases
Jie Xu, Chu Wang, An-Chang Shi +1
We propose a general framework of computing interfacial structures between two modulated phases. Specifically we propose to use a computational box consisting of two half spaces, e…
A tensor model for nematic phases of bent-core molecules based on molecular theory
Jie Xu, Fangfu Ye, Pingwen Zhang
We construct a tensor model for nematic phases of bent-core molecules from molecular theory. The form of free energy is determined by molecular symmetry, which includes the couplin…
