R. J. ATKIN and F. M. LESLIE

( Department of Applied Mathematics and Computing Science, University of Sheffield
Department of Mathematics, University of Strathclyde Glasgow )

An exact solution and a scaling analysis is given for Couette flow in a continuum theory of nematic liquid crystals due to Leslie. The theoretical predictions are compared with available experimental data and a measure of agreement is found.
