Rheology of cholesteric blue phases
Cholesteric blue phases are a spectacular example of disclination line networks. Here we numerically investigate their response to an imposed Poiseuille flow. We show that shear forces bend and twist and can unzip the disclination lines. Under gentle forcing the network opposes the flow and the appa...
