TL;DR
This paper extends the dynamic equations of bilayer membranes by incorporating mass, momentum, and energy exchange with surrounding Stokesian fluids, based on Ericksen-Leslie theory, to better understand membrane-fluid interactions.
Contribution
It introduces a new model linking membrane dynamics with surrounding fluid interactions using Ericksen-Leslie theory.
Findings
Extended dynamic equations for membranes with fluid exchange
Quantitative description of membrane-fluid interaction dynamics
Foundation for further studies on membrane behavior in fluid environments
Abstract
The exchange of mass, momentum and energy between a membrane of liquid crystal and its surroundings of stokesian fluids is added to the dynamic equations of membranes which were deduced from the Ericksen-Leslie's theory of liquid crystals [Rong Wang, Colloid. Sur. 112 (1996) 1].
