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…
Statistical properties of the laser beam propagating in a turbulent medium
Igor Kolokolov, Vladimir Lebedev, Pavel M. Lushnikov
We examine statistical properties of a laser beam propagating in a turbulent medium. We prove that the intensity fluctuations at large propagation distances possess Gaussian probab…
Optimality in self-organized molecular sorting
Marco Zamparo, Donatella Valdembri, Guido Serini +4
We introduce a simple physical picture to explain the process of molecular sorting, whereby specific proteins are concentrated and distilled into submicrometric lipid vesicles in e…
Evidence of a first-order smectic -- hexatic transition and its proximity to tricritical point in smectic films
Ivan A. Zaluzhnyy, Ruslan P. Kurta, Nastasia Mukharamova +10
Experimental and theoretical studies of a smectic-hexatic transition in freely suspended films of 54COOBC compound are presented. X-ray investigations revealed a discontinuous firs…
Universality in statistics of Stokes flow over no-slip wall with random roughness
Vladimir Parfenyev, Sergey Belan, Vladimir Lebedev
Stochastic roughness is widespread feature of natural surfaces and is an inherent by-product of most fabrication techniques. In view of rapid development of microfluidics, the impo…
Non-linear fluctuation effects in dynamics of freely suspended film
E. I. Kats, V. V. Lebedev
Long-scale dynamic fluctuation phenomena in freely suspended films is analyzed. We consider isotropic films that, say, can be pulled from bulk smectic A liquid crystals. The key fe…
