Abstract
We use a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to solve the Beris-Edwards equations of motion for the hydrodynamics of liquid crystals. The equations, which are written in terms of a tensor order parameter, include backflow, the possibility of variations in the magnitude of the order parameter and the hydrodynamics of topological defects. Hence we are able to investigate, inter alia, the role of domain wall movement in liquid crystal switching, bistable switching driven by a flexoelectric effect, phase ordering in liquid crystals following a quench and director configurations in a flow field.
