A two-fluid model for the macroscopic behavior of polar nematic fluids and gels in a nonchiral or a chiral solvent

ABSTRACT: We present the macroscopic dynamics of polar nematic liquid crystals in a two-fluid context. We investigate the case of a nonchiral as well as of a chiral solvent. In addition, we analyze how the incorporation of a strain field for polar nematic gels and elastomers in a solvent modifies th...
