The topological theory of defects assigns a charge to every point defect exhibited by nematic liquid crystals. Complex phenomena have been observed in capillary tubes involving the appearance and the disappearance of periodic arrays of defects with alternating sign of the charge. Here we move a step
## Abstract The dynamics of agitating singleβ and twoβphase liquid mixtures in the absence of an airβliquid interface was compared with that of similar systems with an interface. Two geometrically similar cylindrical vessels, 12 and 18 in. in diameter respectively, were used, each fitted with a sim
