Two-dimensional Ferronematics, Canonical Harmonic Maps and Minimal Connections
Giacomo Canevari, Apala Majumdar, Bianca Stroffolini +1
We study a variational model for ferronematics in two-dimensional domains, in the "super-dilute" regime. The free energy functional consists of a reduced Landau-de Gennes energy fo…
Weak solutions to the equations of stationary compressible flows in active liquid crystals
Zhilei Liang, Apala Majumdar, Dehua Wang +1
The equations of stationary compressible flows of active liquid crystals are considered in a bounded three-dimensional domain. The system consists of the stationary Navier-Stokes e…
A Multi-Faceted Study of Nematic Order Reconstruction in Microfluidic Channels
James Dalby, Yucen Han, Apala Majumdar +1
We study order reconstruction (OR) solutions in the Beris-Edwards framework for nematodynamics, for both passive and active nematic flows in a microfluidic channel. OR solutions ex…
Elastic anisotropy of nematic liquid crystals in the two-dimensional Landau-de Gennes model
Yucen Han, Joseph Harris, Lei Zhang +1
We study the effects of elastic anisotropy on the Landau-de Gennes critical points for nematic liquid crystals, in a square domain. The elastic anisotropy is captured by a paramete…
One-dimensional ferronematics in a channel: order reconstruction, bifurcations and multistability
James Dalby, Patrick E. Farrell, Apala Majumdar +1
We study a model system with nematic and magnetic orders, within a channel geometry modelled by an interval, . The system is characterised by a tensor-valued nematic order…
The Well Order Reconstruction Solution for Three-Dimensional Wells, in the Landau-de Gennes theory
Giacomo Canevari, Joseph Harris, Apala Majumdar +1
We study nematic equilibria on three-dimensional square wells, with emphasis on Well Order Reconstruction Solutions (WORS) as a function of the well size, characterized by , and…
