Shape minimisation problems in liquid crystals
Listed in DataCite
We consider a class of liquid crystal free-boundary problems for which both the equilibrium shape and internal configuration of a system must simultaneously be determined, for example in films with air–liquid or fluid–liquid crystal interfaces and elastomers.
Description
We develop a finite element algorithm to solve such problems with dynamic mesh control, achieved by supplementing the free energy with an auxiliary functional that promotes mesh quality and is minimised in the null space of the energy.
We apply this algorithm to a flexible capacitor, as well as to determine the shape of liquid crystal tactoids as a function of the surface tension and elastic constants. These are compared with theoretical predictions and experimental observations of tactoids from the literature.
