In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of full Ericksen-Leslie system modeling the hydrodynamics of nematic liquid crystals between two dimensional unit spheres. Under a weaker assumption for Leslie's coefficients, we give the key…
We study a simplified system of the original Ericksen--Leslie equations for the flow of nematic liquid crystals. This is a coupled non-parabolic dissipative dynamic system. We show the convergence of global classical solutions to single…
In this paper, we consider a simplified Ericksen-Leslie model for the nematic liquid crystal flow. The evolution system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with a convective Ginzburg-Landau type equation for the averaged…
The general Ericksen-Leslie system for the flow of nematic liquid crystals is reconsidered in the non-isothermal case aiming for thermodynamically consistent models. The non-isothermal model is then investigated analytically. A fairly…
The Ericksen-Leslie model for nematic liquid crystal flows in case of an isothermal and incompressible fluid with general Leslie stress and anisotropic elasticity, i.e. with general Ericksen stress tensor, is shown for the first time to be…
We study the general Ericksen-Leslie system with non-constant density, which describes the flow of nematic liquid crystal. In particular the model investigated here is associated with Parodi's relation. We prove that: in two dimension, the…
In this paper, we investigate an optimal boundary control problem for a two dimensional simplified Ericksen--Leslie system modelling the incompressible nematic liquid crystal flows. The hydrodynamic system consists of the Navier--Stokes…
We present explicit expressions of the helicity conservation in nematic liquid crystal flows, for both the Ericksen-Leslie and Landau-de Gennes theories. This is done by using a minimal coupling argument that leads to an Euler-like equation…
There are two competing descriptions of nematic liquid crystal dynamics: the Ericksen-Leslie director theory and the Eringen micropolar approach. Up to this day, these two descriptions have remained distinct in spite of several attempts to…
This article investigates the interaction of nematic liquid crystals modeled by a simplified Ericksen-Leslie model with a rigid body. It is shown that this problem is locally strongly well-posed, and that it also admits a unique, global…
For any bounded, smooth domain $\Omega\subset \R^2$, %(or $\Omega=\R^2$), we will establish the weak compactness property of solutions to the simplified Ericksen-Leslie system for both uniaxial and biaxial nematics, and the convergence of…
We study a simplified inertial Ericksen-Leslie system for the nematic liquid crystal flow, which can be viewed as a system coupling Navier-Stokes equations and wave map equations. We prove the global existence of classical solution with…
We derive the hydrodynamic equations for nematic liquid crystals lying on curved substrates. We invoke the Lagrange-Rayleigh variational principle to adapt the Ericksen-Leslie theory to two-dimensional nematics in which a degenerate…
Consider the (simplified) Leslie-Erickson model for the flow of nematic liquid crystals in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ for n > 1$. This article develops a complete dynamic theory for these equations, analyzing the system…
We consider the evolution and interaction of a 2-dimensional nematic liquid crystal of Ericksen-Leslie type within a 1-dimensional flexible viscoelastic structure. This is a fully macroscopic model in which the nematic liquid crystal is…
In this paper, we first establish the regularity theorem for suitable weak solutions to the Ericksen-Leslie system in dimensions two. Building on such a regularity, we then establish the existence of a global weak solution to the…
We consider a 2D system that models the nematic liquid crystal flow through the Navier--Stokes equations suitably coupled with a transport-reaction-diffusion equation for the averaged molecular orientations. This system has been proposed as…
We study a simplified Ericksen-Leslie system modeling the flow of nematic liquid crystals with partially free boundary conditions. It is a coupled system between the Navier-Stokes equation for the fluid velocity with a transported heat flow…
We consider the simplest one-constant model, put forward by J. Ericksen, for nematic liquid crystals with variable degree of orientation. The equilibrium state is described by a director field $\mathbf{n}$ and its degree of orientation $s$,…
Ericksen and Leslie established a theory to model the flow of nematic liquid crystals. This paper is devoted to the Cauchy Problem of a simplified version of their system, which retains most of the properties of the original one. We…
