Concepts of Mesoscopic Continuum Physics With Application to Biaxial Liquid Crystals

Inst. Theoretische Physik
The mesoscopic concept in continuum mechanics consists of extending the domain of the balance equations by the set of mesoscopic variables and of introducing a local distribution function of these variables as a statistical element. The balance equations defined on this extended domain and an example concerning liquid crystals of biaxial molecules are discussed.
