Q-tensor model for electrokinetics in nematic liquid crystals
Oleh M. Tovkach, Christopher Conklin, M. Carme Calderer +4
We use a variational principle to derive a mathematical model for a nematic electrolyte in which the liquid crystalline component is described in terms of a second-rank order tenso…
Electro-osmosis in nematic liquid crystals
O. M. Tovkach, M. Carme Calderer, Dmitry Golovaty +2
We derive a mathematical model of a nematic electrolyte based on a variational formulation of nematodynamics. Extending our previous work, we consider a general setup which incorpo…
A non-traditional view on the modeling of nematic disclination dynamics
Chiqun Zhang, Xiaohan Zhang, Amit Acharya +2
Nonsingular disclination dynamics in a uniaxial nematic liquid crystal is modeled within a mathematical framework where the kinematics is a direct extension of the classical way of…
Modeling of nematic electrolyte and nonlinear electroosmosis
M. Carme Calderer, Dmitry Golovaty, Oleg Lavrentovich +1
We derive a mathematical model of a nematic electrolyte based on the Leslie-Ericksen theory of liquid crystal flow. Our goal is to investigate the nonlinear electrokinetic effects…
