Efficient moving mesh methods for Q-tensor models of liquid crystals

As devices using liquid crystals become ever smaller and increasingly complex, there is a commensurate increase in the need for more effective numerical modelling tools in the area. In this thesis, an adaptive finite element method is used to solve a non-linear singularly perturbed boundary value pr...
