Controllable particle migration in liquid crystal flows
Magdalena Lesniewska, Nigel Mottram, Oliver Henrich
We observe novel positional control of a colloidal particle in microchannel flow of a nematic liquid crystal. Lattice Boltzmann simulations show multiple equilibrium particle posit…
Self-assembly of colloid-cholesteric composites provides a possible route to switchable optical materials
K. Stratford, O. Henrich, J. S. Lintuvuori +2
Colloidal particles dispersed in liquid crystals can form new materials with tunable elastic and electro-optic properties. In a periodic `blue phase' host, particles should templat…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid crystalline fluids: active gels and blue phases
M. E. Cates, O. Henrich, D. Marenduzzo +1
Lattice Boltzmann simulations have become a method of choice to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of a number of complex fluids. Here we review some recent applications of…
