The hydrodynamic equations for flow past a finite barrier within a ‘bookshelf’ aligned smectic A liquid crystal are solved. Solutions are found for the flow components within (v x) and normal (v z) to the smectic layers. The behaviour of the v z component is confirmed by experimental observation of both the buckling instability and a permeative flow induced SA to Sc phase transition.
