Why Is Frank Matthews Leslie Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Professor Frank Matthews Leslie FRS FRSE was a Scottish mathematical physicist specializing in continuum mechanics. He is remembered for the Ericksen–Leslie Theory which he developed with Jerald Ericksen to describe the viscosity of mesophases associated with liquid crystals. The parameters of this theory are viscosities called "Leslie coefficients", and the angle at which a nematic orientates with respect to the direction of flow in a steady shear flow is called the "Leslie angle".
