On the long-time behavior of some mathematical models for nematic liquid crystals
Hana Petzeltová, Elisabetta Rocca, Giulio Schimperna
A model describing the evolution of a liquid crystal substance in the nematic phase is investigated in terms of two basic state variables: the {\it velocity field} $\bu$ and the {\…
On a 3D isothermal model for nematic liquid crystals accounting for stretching terms
Cecilia Cavaterra, Elisabetta Rocca
The present contribution investigates the well-posedness of a PDE system describing the evolution of a nematic liquid crystal flow under kinematic transports for molecules of diffe…
Well-posedness of an extended model for water-ice phase transitions
Pavel Krejci, Elisabetta Rocca
We propose an improved model explaining the occurrence of high stresses due to the difference in specific volumes during phase transitions between water and ice. The unknowns of th…
A new approach to non-isothermal models for nematic liquid crystals
E. Feireisl, M. Fre'mond, E. Rocca +1
We introduce a new class of non-isothermal models describing the evolution of nematic liquid crystals and prove their consistency with the fundamental laws of classical Thermodynam…
