Lattice-Boltzmann simulation of free nematic-isotropic interfaces

We use a hybrid method of lattice Boltzmann and finite differences to simulate flat and curved interfaces between the nematic and isotropic phases of a liquid crystal described by the Landau-de Gennes theory. For the flat in¬terface, we measure the interfacial velocity at different temperatures arou...
