“…The resulting hydrodynamics are molecular models (such as Doi-Onsager [7]), tensor models (such as Beris-Edwards [4] and Qian-Sheng [27]) and vector models (such as Ericksen-Leslie [8,9,16]), respectively. The connections between theories at these three levels are studied extensively, both in the sense of formal expansion [15,10,13] and rigorous limit [38,21,39,20,24,40].…”
