We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories. This is done by using a minimal coupling argument that leads to an Euler-like equation…
Electrostatic correlations and variable permittivity of electrolytes are essential for exploring many chemical and physical properties of interfaces in aqueous solutions. We propose a continuum electrostatic model for the treatment of these…
In this paper we investigate the three dimensional general Ericksen-Leslie (E--L) system with Ginzburg-Landau type approximation modeling nematic liquid crystal flows. First, by overcoming the difficulties from lack of maximum principle for…
A modified Poisson-Nernst-Planck system in a bounded domain with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions is analyzed. It describes the concentrations of ions immersed in a polar solvent and the correlated electric potential due to the…
This paper establishes the global well-posedness and long-time dynamics of the general Ericksen--Leslie system for isotropic nematic liquid crystals under a constant magnetic field. On the two-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^2$, a liquid…
We show that the Nernst-Planck-Euler system, which models ionic electrodiffusion in fluids, has global strong solutions for arbitrarily large data in the two dimensional bounded domains. The assumption on species is either there are two…
Liquid crystal elastomers realize a fascinating new form of soft matter that is a composite of a conventional crosslinked polymer gel (rubber) and a liquid crystal. These {\em solid} liquid crystal amalgams, quite similarly to their…
We consider the stochastic electrokinetic flow in a smooth bounded domain $\mathcal{D}$, modelled by a Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes system with a blocking boundary conditions for ionic species concentrations, perturbed by multiplicative…
We consider the problem of electromigration of a sample ion (analyte) within a uniform background electrolyte when the confining channel undergoes a sudden contraction. One example of such a situation arises in microfluidics in the…
We consider the Poisson-Nernst-Planck system which is well-accepted for describing dilute electrolytes as well as transport of charged species in homogeneous environments. Here, we study these equations in porous media whose electric…
We present a broad family of high-order finite element algorithms for simulating the flow of electroneutral electrolytes. The governing partial differential equations that we solve are the electroneutral…
A new computational method is presented for study suspensions of charged soft particles undergoing fluctuating hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions. The proposed model is appropriate for polymers, proteins and porous particles…
Active particles in anisotropic, viscoelastic fluids experience competing stresses which guide their trajectories. An aligned suspension of particles can trigger a hydrodynamic bend instability, but the elasticity of the fluid can drive…
We consider the Nernst-Planck-Stokes system on a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$ with general nonequilibrium Dirichlet boundary conditions for the ionic concentrations. It is well known that, in a wide range of cases, equilibrium…
In this paper we propose a nonlinear elasticity model of macromolecular conformational change (deformation) induced by electrostatic forces generated by an implicit solvation model. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electrostatic…
We study ionic and mass transport in a liquid crystalline fluid film in its nematic phase under an applied electrostatic field. Both analytic and numerical solutions are given for some prototypical configurations of interest in…
Global existence for weak solutions to systems of nematic liquid crystals, with non-constant fluid density has been established by several authors. In this paper, we establish the regularity and uniqueness results for solutions to the…
A model is presented for the solution of electrokinetic phenomena of colloidal suspensions in fluid mixtures. We solve the discrete Boltzmann equation with a BGK collision operator using the lattice Boltzmann method to simulate binary fluid…
Ericksen and Leslie established a theory to model the flow of nematic liquid crystals. This paper is devoted to the Cauchy Problem of a simplified version of their system, which retains most of the properties of the original one. We…
We study the immersion of a ferromagnetic nanowire within a nematic liquid crystal using a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to solve the full three-dimensional equations of hydrodynamics. We present an algorithm for including a moving boundary,…
