Abstract

The influence of terms which are of third order is discussed for the nonlinear hydrodynamics of various types of liquid crystals like nematics, cholesterics, smectics C and biaxial nematic discotics. To test the experimental importance of the presented new contributions we propose a static experiment to be carried out on nematics
