Abstract
The hydrodynamic equations for three-dimensional stacked hexatic liquid crystals, i.e., for hexatic- and its tilted analogs, smectic- and smectic-, are presented. Differences and similarities to the hydrodynamics of smectic- and smectic- are discussed and the role of the additional variable characterizing the bond orientational order is elucidated.
