Viscoelastic flows of cholesteric liquid crystals
We numerically solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion for a cholesteric liquid crystal under an imposed Poiseuille flow, by means of lattice Boltzmann simulations. The elasticity of the cholesteric helix couples to the external flow to give rise to a highly viscoelastic flow. This is a technical...
