摘要
Liquid crystals may be described by a range of coarse-grained theories: elastic theories based on the spatial variation of the director field; Landau - de Gennes theories based an spatial variation of an order tenser field; and density functional theories, stemming from the original theory of Onsager. Molecular simulations may provide information regarding the coefficients which enter these theories, and may also be used to model highly inhomogeneous situations in which the theories break down.
