Modelling and computation of liquid crystals

W Wang, L Zhang, P Zhang - Acta Numerica, 2021 - cambridge.org
Liquid crystals are a type of soft matter that is intermediate between crystalline solids and
isotropic fluids. The study of liquid crystals has made tremendous progress over the past four …
