Lattice Boltzmann simulations of cholesteric liquid crystals: Permeative flows, doubly twisted textures and cubic blue phases
We present a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to solve the Beris-Edwards equations of motion for a cholesteric liquid crystal. We use our algorithm to investigate permeative flow. We find that, for helices pinned at the boundary, a small body force leads to a huge viscosity increase whereas larger ones i...
