A dissipative particle dynamics study of the realignment of a nanodroplet of a nematic in a weak external magnetic field

We present a dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) approach for simulating the realignment of a nematic nanodroplet suspended in an isotropic fluid following a switch in the direction of an applied external magnetic field. The interaction of the mesogens with the external field is weak relative to the...
