Kinetic derivation of an inviscid compressible Leslie-Ericksen equation for rarified calamitic gases
Nematic ordering describes the phenomenon where anisotropic molecules tend to locally align, like matches in a matchbox. This ordering can arise in solids (as nematic elastomers), liquids (as liquid crystals), and in gases. In the 1940s, Onsager described how nematic ordering can arise in dilute col...
