Numerical Simulation of Molding Hele-Shaw Flow of Polymeric Liquid Crystals

To develop a general-purpose program for predicting the molding flow of polymeric liquid crystals, we present a basic model and its computational procedure. The flow is modeled by the Transversely Isotropic Fluid theory, which is equivalent to the Leslie-Ericksen equations in the high viscosity limi...
