Vortex Dynamics in a Hybrid Aligned Nematic Microvolume with an Orientational Defect

The aim of this theoretical paper is to investigate the physical mechanism responsible for the appearance of vortex flow in a hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) microvolume with an orientational defect, excited by a temperature gradient <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Mat...
