20.500.12556/RUL-167049 Nematic liquid crystal flow driven by time-varying active surface anchoring We demonstrate the generation of diverse material flow regimes in nematic liquid cells as driven by time-variable active surface anchoring, including no-net flow, oscillatory flow, steady flow, and pulsating flow. Specifically, we numerically simulate a passive nematic fluid inside a cell bounded with two flat solid boundaries at which the time-dependent anchoring is applied with the dynamically variable surface anchoring easy axis. We show that different flow regimes emerge as the result of different anchoring driving directions (i.e. co-rotating or counter-rotating) and relative phase of anchoring driving. The flow magnitude is tunable by cell thickness and anchoring driving frequency. More generally, this work aims towards possible applications of responsive time-variable surfaces, including photonics or synthetic active matter. soft matter physics nematic liquid crystals surface anchoring fizika mehke snovi nematski tekoči kristali površinsko sidranje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-02-05 13:57:46 2025-02-05 13:57:47 2025-02-06 03:51:29 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 835-843 iss. 5 Vol. 21 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 538.9 1744-683X 10.1039/D4SM00924J 222641155 d4sm00924j.pdf d4sm00924j.pdf 1 54E8DFBE9C05D55FB8AE80DF663CACF8 116405f89b3573c55da8b720d9ca68628dbdf8ad459c6d7034b603266b5658c4 1efdcb60-e3c0-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199190 https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2025/sm/d4sm00924j 0 26ba71ed-e3c0-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199191 Fakulteta za matematiko in fiziko 0 0 0
