A lattice model with full rotational symmetry is discussed for describing nematic liquid crystals. It is a lattice-gas approximation of continuum liquid with dispersion forces between long centrosymmetric molecules. Orientational long-range order at low temperatures and large chemical potentials is

A review is presented of computer simulations of liquid crystal systems. It will be shown that the shape o particles is of crucial importance for the stability of the phases. Both static and dynamic properties of the systems are obtained by means of computer simulation.
To obtain a guide for shortening the liquid crystal filling time, we devised a filling simulation model based on two-dimensional incompressible Stokes flow and studied its suitability. We found this model allowed us to predict the effect on the filling time of changes in the panel parameters, such a
