Lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid crystal hydrodynamics
Physical Review E - Statistical Physics, Plasmas, Fluids, and Related Interdisciplinary Topics 63:5 (2001)
Abstract:
We describe a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate liquid crystal hydrodynamics. The equations of motion are written in terms of a tensor order parameter. This allows both the isotropic and the nematic phases to be considered. Backflow effects and the hydrodynamics of topological defects are naturally included in the simulations, as are non-Newtonian flow properties such as shear thinning and shear banding. © 2001 The American Physical Society.Creating localized mixing stations within microfluidic channels
