Symmetry and numerical investigation of smectic liquid crystals
Abstract In this dissertation both smectic-A and smectic-C liquid crystals are discussed. A dynamic equation for modeling the behaviour of smectic-C liquid crystals under the effect of an electric field is derived. The analytical solution is obtained using Lie point symmetries. From this the stea...
