Abstract
We describe continuum theory now being used to describe macroscopic behavior of liquid crystals of nematic type. Two types of predictions are discussed. The first concerns the propagation of orientation waves. The second area is viseometry, including effects of simple electromagnetic fields. We discuss some unusual size effects predicted when such fields are absent.Keywords
