Analysis of PDEs 2017-01-17 v2

Abstract

A complex non-Newtonian fluid models the nematic liquid crystal flows confined in a bounded domain in R3\mathbb{R}^3 is considered. The system is a forced incompressible Navier-Stokes equation coupled with a parabolic type Q-tensor flows. Under suitable condition on the coefficients of the Landau-de Gennes energy functional, global strong solution for small initial data is proved.
