The coupling between the tensor order parameter and the flow is treated consistently allowing investigation of a wide range of non-Newtonian flow behavior. We present results for the effect of hydrodynamics on defect coalescence; of the appearance of the log-rolling and kayaking states in Poiseuille flow; and for banding and coexistence of isotropic and nematic phases under shear.Soft Condensed MatterMaterials Sciencetext
