Landau-de Gennes modelling of nematic liquid crystal colloids
Phenomenological Landau-de Gennesmodelling based on the free energy of nematic liquid crystal colloids is reviewed. Nematic phase, gradient of order, and surface anchoring contributions to the total free energy are used. The numerical finite difference relaxation technique is explained as an efficie...
