Abstract

The behavior of MBBA nematic liquid cells under an applied shear is studied at high frequency. It is shown that hydrodynamic roll instabilities can be excited. The rolls develop in a direction perpendicular to the shear motion of the cell plates. Interference between two roll patterns can be obtained with nonparallel glass plates of the cell.
