Dynamic magneto-optic coupling in a ferromagnetic nematic liquid crystal
Tilen Potisk, Daniel Svenšek, Helmut R. Brand +4
Hydrodynamics of complex fuids with multiple order parameters is governed by a set of dynamic equations with many material constants, of which only some are easily measurable. We p…
Hydrodynamics of Active Polar Systems in a (Visco)Elastic Background
H. Pleiner, D. Svensek, H. R. Brand
We derive the full set of macroscopic equations necessary to describe the dynamics of systems with active polar order in a viscoelastic or elastic background. The active polar orde…
Tetrahedral Order in Liquid Crystals
H. Pleiner, H. R. Brand
We review the impact of tetrahedral order on the macroscopic dynamics of bent-core liquid crystals. We discuss tetrahedral order comparing with other types of orientational order,…
Nonlinear Fluid Dynamics Description of non-Newtonian Fluids
Harald Pleiner, Mario Liu, Helmut R. Brand
Nonlinear hydrodynamic equations for visco-elastic media are discussed. We start from the recently derived fully hydrodynamic nonlinear description of permanent elasticity that uti…
General Nonlinear 2-Fluid Hydrodynamics of Complex Fluids and Soft Matter
H. Pleiner, J. L. Harden
We discuss general 2-fluid hydrodynamic equations for complex fluids, where one kind is a simple Newtonian fluid, while the other is either liquid-crystalline or polymeric/elastome…
Shear induced instabilities in layered liquids
Guenter K. Auernhammer, Helmut R. Brand, Harald Pleiner
Motivated by the experimentally observed shear-induced destabilization and reorientation of smectic A like systems, we consider an extended formulation of smectic A hydrodynamics.…
