Nonlinear electro-hydrodynamics of liquid crystals
E. S. Pikina, E. I. Kats, A. R. Muratov +1
We present nonlinear dynamic equations for nematic and smectic liquid crystals in the presence of an alternating electric field and explain their derivation in detail. The loca…
Circulating Marangoni flows within droplets in smectic films
E. S. Pikina, M. A. Shishkin, K. S. Kolegov +2
We present theoretical study and numerical simulation of Marangoni convection within ellipsoidal isotropic droplets embedded in free standing smectic films (FSSF). The thermocapill…
Long-range interactions between membrane inclusions: Electric field induced giant amplification of the pairwise potential
E. S. Pikina, A. R. Muratov, E. I. Kats +1
The aim of this work is to revisit the phenomenological theory of the interaction between membrane inclusions, mediated by the membrane fluctuations. We consider the case where the…
