Director profile of a nematic between two concentric cylinders with inhomogeneous boundary conditions
Systems that involve liquid crystal alignment between two concentric cylinders have been investigated in connection with the flexoelectric instability [1], with the stability analysis of the orientational profile [2], and the Fréedericksz transition occurring in the absence of external electric field [3]. The starting point of these analysis was the original problem proposed by Meyer, solved in...
متن کاملNematic between Coaxial Cylinders
The stability of the equilibrium configurations of a nematic liquid crystal confined between two coaxial cylinders is analysed when a radial electric field is applied and the flexoelectric effect is taken into account. The threshold for perturbations depending only on the radius r in the cylindrical coordinate system and strong boundary conditions is studied. A new type of orientational transit...
متن کاملCouette flow of two fluids between concentric cylinders
We consider the flow of two immiscible fluids lying between concentric cylinders when the outer cylinder is fixed and the inner one rotates. The interface is assumed to be concentric with the cylinders, and gravitational effects are neglected. We present a numerical study of the effect of different viscosities, different densities and surface tension on the linear stability of the Couette flow....
متن کاملA computer simulation of nematic droplets with radial boundary conditions
Polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) formed of liquid crystal droplets embedded in a polymer matrix have recently been prepared [ 1,2] and have immediately received a great deal of attention, both in view of their applications in large area displays [ 3,4] and of their fundamental interest concerning the behaviour of mesophases in a restricted environment. The size of liquid crystal droplet...
