A Reduced Landau-de Gennes Study for Nematic Equilibria in Three-Dimensional Prisms
Yucen Han, Baoming Shi, Lei Zhang +1
We model nematic liquid crystal configurations inside three-dimensional prisms, with a polygonal cross-section and Dirichlet boundary conditions on all prism surfaces. We work in a…
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…
Hierarchies of Critical Points of a Landau-de Gennes Free Energy on Three-Dimensional Cuboids
Baoming Shi, Yucen Han, Jianyuan Yin +2
We investigate critical points of a Landau-de Gennes (LdG) free energy in three-dimensional (3D) cuboids, that model nematic equilibria. We develop a hybrid saddle dynamics-based a…
