摘要：
The nonlinear response of a nematic slab subjected to a rectilinear low-frequency oscillatory Couette and Poiseuille flow is investigated theoretically. We find that under Poiseuille flow and with appropriate alignment conditions by surface anchoring and/or magnetic field a state with slow, spontaneous director rotation appears. This may provide a model for the slow director rotations observed in high-frequency Couette flow.
