Nonlinear Methods for Shape Optimization Problems in Liquid Crystal Tactoids

JH Adler, AS Andrei, TJ Atherton - arXiv preprint arXiv:2310.04022, 2023 - arxiv.org
Anisotropic fluids, such as nematic liquid crystals, can form non-spherical equilibrium
shapes known as tactoids. Predicting the shape of these structures as a function of material …
