During this time the study of the "classic" systems, like Rayleigh-Benard convection and Taylor vortex flow in simple fluids, has also been supplemented by the study of more complex systems. Here liquid crystals have played, and are still playing, a major role. One might say that liquid crystals provide just the right amount and right kind of complexity. They are full of non linearities and give rise to new symmetry classes, which are sometimes actually simpler to deal with qualitatively, but they still allow a quantitative description of experiments in many cases. In fact one of the attractions of the field is the close contact between experimentalists and theorists. Hydrodynamic instabilities in liquid crystals had already experienced a period of intense study in the late 1960s and early 1970s, but at that time neither the ex perimental and theoretical tools nor the concepts had been developed sufficiently far to ad | | 出版日期 | Book 1996 | | 关键词 | convection; dynamics; material; stability; thermodynamics; fluid- and aerodynamics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4612-3994-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4612-8464-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4612-3994-9Series ISSN 0941-5114 | | issn_series | 0941-5114 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag New York, Inc. 1996 |
