摘要: Using a lattice-Boltzmann algorithm, we investigate the behavior of 2D deformable vesicles immersed in nematic liquid crystal. We represent our particles using bead-spring model, with both linear and angular springs, assume homeotropic anchoring crystal at particle surface. The resulting defects distortions lead to non-uniform pressure exerted on surface, accompanied by deformation its shape. present equilibrium shapes for range surface elasticities, interactions between pairs vesicles.
