From microscopic theory to macroscopic theory: dynamics of the rod-like liquid crystal molecules
Abstract
Starting from Doi-Onsager equation for the liquid crystal, we first derive the Q-tensor equation by the Bingham closure. Then we derive the Ericksen-Leslie equation from the Q-tensor equation by taking the small Deborah number limit.
