- Kickback in nematic liquid crystalsPublication . Costa, Fernando Pestana da; Grinfeld, Michael; Langer, Mathias; Mottram, Nigel J.; Pinto, João TeixeiraWe describe a nonlocal linear partial differential equation arising in the analysis of dynamics of a nematic liquid crystal. We confirm that it accounts for the kickback phenomenon by decoupling the director dynamics from the flow. We also analyse some of the mathematical properties of the decoupled director equation.
