Transition to spatially periodic patterns in nematics under oscillatory shear flow: linear analysis
O. S. Tarasov, A. P. Krekhov, L. Kramer
We consider the orientational instabilities, both homogeneous and spatially periodic, developing in a nematic liquid crystal under rectilinear oscillatory Couette flow for director…

Influence of weak anchoring on flow instabilities in nematic liquid crystals
O. S. Tarasov, A. P. Krekhov, L. Kramer
We analyse the homogeneous instabilities in a nematic liquid crystal subjected to plane steady Couette or Poiseuille flow in the case when the director is pre-aligned perpendicular…
