双轴液晶动力学的等效变分方法

Equivalent variational approaches to biaxial liquid crystal dynamics

Alexander R. D. Close, Cesare Tronci

摘要:

在液晶流动的框架内,利用Hamilton变分原理,将Q张量动力学的Qian & Sheng(QS)模型与双轴向列相的Volovik & Kats(VK)理论进行了比较。在Q张量转动动力学的假设下,这两种理论的变分原理是等价的,而保守的VK理论则是QS模型的特殊化。此外,在提出VK模型的微极变体后,瑞利耗散被包括在治疗中。最后,治疗扩展到占非平凡的本征值动力学的VK模型,这是通过考虑在Q-张量的演变的比例因子的效果。

英文摘要:

Within the framework of liquid crystal flows, the Qian & Sheng (QS) model for Q-tensor dynamics is compared to the Volovik & Kats (VK) theory of biaxial nematics by using Hamilton's variational principle. Under the assumption of rotational dynamics for the Q-tensor, the variational principles underling the two theories are equivalent and the conservative VK theory emerges as a specialization of the QS model. Also, after presenting a micropolar variant of the VK model, Rayleigh dissipation is included in the treatment. Finally, the treatment is extended to account for nontrivial eigenvalue dynamics in the VK model and this is done by considering the effect of scaling factors in the evolution of the Q-tensor.
