Abstract
The lattice Boltzmann (LB) method is well established as a mesoscopic method of modelling flow in isotropic fluids. Recently, enhanced lattice Boltzmann algorithms have been developed, [1,2] which recover the equations of flow for a nematic liquid crystal. Results will be presented for one of the methods [1] which demonstrate that it is able to recover either the Ericksen-Leslie-Parodi equations which govern the flow of a nematic liquid crystal, or the more generalised equations which apply to systems with a spatially dependent order parameter.
