Ericksen–Leslie equations for nematic liquid crystals (soft-matter)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the soft-matter subtree

Soft-matter application of L0 partial-differential-equation theory and variation-of-parameters. Liquid-crystal nematics are described by a unit director field n(x, t) ∈ S² whose free-energy density is the Frank–Oseen elastic form F_FO =…
