Simulations of liquid crystals in Poiseuille flow
Lattice Boltzmann simulations are used to explore the behavior of liquid crystals subject to Poiseuille flow. In the nematic regime at low shear rates we find two possible steady-state configurations of the director field. The selected state depends on both the shear rate and the history of the samp...
