Permeative flows in cholesterics: shear and Poiseuille flows.
By using a lattice Boltzmann scheme that solves the Beris-Edwards equations of motion describing liquid-crystal hydrodynamics, we study the response of cholesterics to shear and Poiseuille flows. The geometry we focus on is a flow along the direction of the helical axis, which is known to give rise...
