Abstract
We classify the equilibrium solutions of the Smoluchowski equation for dipolar ( extended) rigid nematic polymers under imposed elongational flow. The Smoluchowski equation couples the Maier-Saupe short-range interaction, dipole-dipole interaction, and an external elongational flow. We show that all stable equilibria of rigid, dipolar rod dispersions under imposed uniaxial elongational flow field are axisymmetric. This finding of axisymmetry significantly simplifies any procedure of obtaining experimentally observable equilibria.

    Nonparallel solutions of extended nematic polymers under an external field 

    Zhou, Hong; Wang, Hongyun; Wang, Qi (2007);
    We continue the study on equilibria of the Smoluchowski equation for dilute solutions of rigid extended (dipolar) nematics and dispersions under an imposed electric or magnetic field [25]. We first provide an alternative ...

    Characterization of stable kinetic equilibria of rigid, dipolar rod ensembles for coupled dipole-dipole and Maier-Saupe potentials 

    Zhou, Hong; Wang, H. Y.; Wang, Q.; Forest, M. G. (2007);
    We study equilibria of the Smoluchowski equation for rigid, dipolar rod ensembles where the intermolecular potential couples the dipole-dipole interaction and the Maier-Saupe interaction. We thereby extend previous analytical ...

    A new proof on axisymmetric equilibria of a three-dimensional Smoluchowski equation 

    Zhou, Hong; Wang, Hongyun; Forest, M. Gregory; Wang, Qi (2005);
    We consider equilibrium solutions of the Smoluchowski equation for rodlike nematic polymers with a Maier-Saupe excluded volume potential. The purpose of this paper is to present a new and simplified proof of classical ...
