One thing missing here: if you have a varying number of elements that you want to put together to something like

WHERE [...] AND (field LIKE '%abc%' OR field LIKE '%def%')

and dont want to assemble a DQL-String yourself, you can use the orX mentioned above like this:

$patterns = ['abc', 'def'];
$orStatements = $qb->expr()->orX();
foreach ($patterns as $pattern) {
    $orStatements->add(
        $qb->expr()->like('field', $qb->expr()->literal('%' . $pattern . '%'))
    );
}
$qb->andWhere($orStatements);
