Computing with non-orientable defects: nematics, smectics and natural patterns

 (in Physica, D)

Defects, a ubiquitous feature of ordered media, have certain universal features, independent of the underlying physical system, reflecting their topological, as opposed to energetic properties. We exploit this universality, in conjunction with smoothing defects by "spreading them out," to develop a modeling framework and associated numerical methods that are applicable to computing energy driven behaviors of defects across the amorphous-soft-crystalline materials spectrum. Motivated by ideas for dealing with elastic-plastic solids with line defects, our methods can handle order parameters that have a head-tail symmetry, i.e. director fields, in systems with a continuous translation symmetry, as in nematic liquid crystals, and in systems where the translation symmetry is broken, as in smectics and convection patterns. We illustrate our methods with explicit computations.

PhD in Fusion Energy

Submitted by Lee Margetts on

Just a short note before the weekend to let you know that I am offering 4 year PhD topics in advanced modelling & simulation starting in September via the Nuclear Fusion doctoral training network.  One of the topics is to combine the cellular automata finite element method with uncertainty quantification to predict the lifetime of neutron irradiated components in fusion reactors. The deadline for applications is the end of next week. Studentships are available for UK/EU students.
