Field-driven pattern formation in nematic liquid crystals: mesoscopic simulations of electroconvection

As an environment for rich pattern formation, the electroconvection (EC) of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) is studied via fully nonlinear simulations for the first time. Previously, EC was mostly studied by experiments or by linear/weakly nonlinear hydrodynamic theory for its instability criteria. Wh...
