Heat Driven Flows in Microsized Nematic Volumes: Computational Studies and Analysis

The nematic fluid pumping mechanism responsible for the heat driven flow in microfluidic nematic channels and capillaries is described in a number of applications. This heat driven flow can be generated either by a laser beam focused inside the nematic microvolume and at the nematic channel boundary...
