曲面上的Nematic liquid crystals-薄膜极限

Nematic liquid crystals on curved surfaces - a thin film limit

Ingo Nitschke, Michael Nestler, Simon Praetorius, Hartmut Löwen, Axel Voigt

摘要:

本文考虑Landau-de Gennes Q张量模型的薄膜极限。在限制过程中,我们观察到一个连续的过渡,正常和切向部分的Q-张量去耦和各种内在和外在的贡献出现。薄膜模型的主要性质,如单轴性和参数相空间,保持在限制过程。对于导出的表面Landau-de Gennes模型,我们考虑L2-梯度流。由此产生的张量值的表面偏微分方程数值求解,以证明实现的紧耦合的弹性和体积自由能的几何特性。

英文摘要:

We consider a thin film limit of a Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor model. In the limiting process we observe a continuous transition where the normal and tangential parts of the Q-tensor decouple and various intrinsic and extrinsic contributions emerge. Main properties of the thin film model, like uniaxiality and parameter phase space, are preserved in the limiting process. For the derived surface Landau-de Gennes model, we consider an L2-gradient flow. The resulting tensor-valued surface partial differential equation is numerically solved to demonstrate realizations of the tight coupling of elastic and bulk free energy with geometric properties.
