Surface alignment control of nematodynamics
The primary study of this thesis is the response of the nematic director to pressure driven flow. Dynamic flow experiments using optical conoscopy and pressure gradient measurements are used to explore the physics behind the flow alignment seen to occur for some nematic liquid crystals. New research...
