A Molecular-Based <i>Q</i>-Tensor Hydrodynamic Theory of Smectic Liquid Crystals
The Doi–Onsager molecular theory is capable of providing a rather accurate description of the local behavior of molecules; however, its computation is extremely time-consuming, since some higher-dimensional variables are typically involved. Therefore, establishing a computable reduced model that can...
