Hydrodynamic theory for nematic shells: the interplay among curvature, flow and alignment

Gaetano Napoli, Luigi Vergori

We derive the hydrodynamic equations for nematic liquid crystals lying on curved substrates. We invoke the Lagrange-Rayleigh variational principle to adapt the Ericksen-Leslie theo…
