Phase ordering in nematic liquid crystals.
We study the kinetics of the nematic-isotropic transition in a two-dimensional liquid crystal by using a lattice Boltzmann scheme that couples the tensor order parameter and the flow consistently. Unlike in previous studies, we find that the time dependences of the correlation function, energy densi...
