Analytical calculation of the Stokes drag of the spherical particle in a nematic liquid crystal

As an approach to the motion of particles in an anisotropic liquid, we analytically study the Stokes drag of spherical particles in a nematic liquid crystal. The Stokes drag of spherical particles for a general anisotropic case is derived in terms of multipoles. In the case of weak anchoring, we use the well-known distribution of the elastic director field around the spherical particle. In the case of strong anchoring, the multipole expansion may be also used by modifying the size of a particle to the size of the deformation coating. For the case of zero anchoring (uniform director field) we found that the viscosities along the director $\eta_{\parallel}$ and perpendicular direction $\eta_{\perp}$ are almost the same, which is quite reasonable because in this case the liquid behaves as isotropic. In the case of non-zero anchoring, the general ratio $\eta_{\parallel}/\eta_{\perp}$ is about 2 which is satisfied by experimental observations.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figur

Perturbative transport experiments on TJ-II Flexible Heliac

Transport properties of TJ-II are explored performing perturbative experiments and taking advantage of TJ-II flexibility. Rotational transform can be varied in a wide range, which allows one to introduce low order rationals and to study their effect on transport. On the other hand, confinement properties can be studied at very different rotational transform values and for different values of magnetic shear: Experiments on influence of the magnetic shear on confinement are reported. In these cases a Ohmic current has been induced in TJ-II plasma to modify magnetic shear and to evaluate itsd effect on confinement, showing that negative shear improves the confinement. Heat transport is also reduced by locating a low order rational near the power deposition profile. Plasma potential profiles have been recently measured in some configurations up to the plasma core with the Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) diagnostic and the electric field values measured in low-density plasmas are consistent with neoclassical calculations near the plasma core. Plasma edge turbulent transport has been studied in configurations that are marginally stable due to decreased magnetic well. Results show a dynamical coupling between gradients and turbulent transport. Finally, cold pulse propagation has been studied showing ballistic non diffusive propagation
