A second-order numerical scheme for the Ericksen-Leslie equation

In this paper, we consider a finite element approximation for the Ericksen-Leslie model of nematic liquid crystal. Based on a saddle-point formulation of the director vector, a second-order backward differentiation formula (BDF) numerical scheme is proposed, where a pressure-correction strategy is u...
