Simulations of topological defects in nematic liquid crystal films
We present a detailed computer simulation study of the formation and evolution of topological defects in thin 3D nematic films with schlieren geometry. The differences between the uniaxial and the biaxial case and the influence of the strength of anchoring to the surfaces are analyzed.
