Fundamental research on flexoelectric effect of the tumbling liquid crystals has been performed numerically using the Leslie-Ericksen continuum theory. The liquid crystal is confined in between parallel plates. The lower plate is fixed, while the upper one moves along x-direction. Once shear flow is applied, the director is rotates and escapes from in-plane to out-of-plane. After that director repeat changing from out-of-plane to in-plane and in-plane to out-of-plane. This is attributed to the fact that director reaches singular point to in-plane orientation by director escapes to out-of-plane and conforms to vortices axis. And also flexoelectric polarization is considered to director distribution by interspatial distortion of director.
