In this paper, we establish an $\epsilon$-regularity criterion for any weak solution $(u,d)$ to the nematic liquid crystal flow (1.1) such that $(u,\nabla d)\in L^p_tL^q_x$ for some $p\ge 2$ and $q\ge n$ satisfying the condition (1.2). As…

We investigate minimizers defined on a bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for the Maier--Saupe Q--tensor energy used to characterize nematic liquid crystal configurations. The energy density is singular, as in Ball and Mujamdar's modification…

We study the regularity problem of a nematic liquid crystal model with local configuration represented by Q-tensor in three dimensions. It was an open question whether the classical Prodi-Serrin condition implies regularity for this model.…

Global existence for weak solutions to systems of nematic liquid crystals, with non-constant fluid density has been established by several authors. In this paper, we establish the regularity and uniqueness results for solutions to the…

In this paper we investigate a forced incompressible Navier-Stokes equation coupled with a parabolic type equation of Q-tensors in a domain $U\subset\R^3.$ In the case $U$ is bounded, we prove the existence of a global strong solution when…

In this paper, we investigate regularity criterion for the solution of the nematic liquid crystal flows in dimension three and two. We prove the solution $(u,d)$ is smooth up to time $T$ provided that there exists a positive constant…

We study the existence, regularity and so-called `strict physicality' of weak solutions of a coupled Navier-Stokes Q-tensor system which is proposed as a model for the incompressible flow of nematic liquid crystal materials. An important…

We develop a Q-tensor model of nematic liquid crystals occupying a stationary surface which represents a fluidic material film in space. In addition to the evolution due to Landau--de\,Gennes energy the model includes a tangent viscous…

We consider a thin film limit of a Landau-de Gennes Q-tensor model. In the limiting process we observe a continuous transition where the normal and tangential parts of the Q-tensor decouple and various intrinsic and extrinsic contributions…

Existence and uniqueness of local strong solution for the Beris--Edwards model for nematic liquid crystals, which couples the Navier-Stokes equations with an evolution equation for the Q-tensor, is established on a bounded domain in the…

In this paper, we study the weak-strong uniqueness for the Leray-Hopf type weak solutions to the Beris-Edwards model of nematic liquid crystals in $\R^3$ with an arbitrary parameter $\xi\in\R$, which measures the ratio of tumbling and…

This chapter is about the modeling of nematic liquid crystals (LCs) and their numerical simulation. We begin with an overview of the basic physics of LCs and discuss some of their many applications. Next, we delve into the modeling…

We consider a full Navier-Stokes and $Q$-tensor system for incompressible liquid crystal flows of nematic type. In the two dimensional periodic case, we prove the existence and uniqueness of global strong solutions that are uniformly…

In this paper, we prove the global well posedness and the decay estimates for a $\mathbb Q$-tensor model of nematic liquid crystals in $\mathbb R^N$, $N \geq 3$. This system is coupled system by the Navier-Stokes equations with a…

In this paper, we consider a resolvent problem arising from the $Q$-tensor model for liquid crystal flows in the half-space. Our purpose is to show the $\mathcal{R}$-boundedness for the solution operator families of the resolvent problem…

In this paper, we consider a complex fluid modeling nematic liquid crystal flows, which is described by a system coupling Navier-Stokes equations with a parabolic Q-tensor system. We first prove the global existence of weak solutions in…

The properties of liquid crystals can be modelled using an order parameter which describes the variability of the local orientation of rod-like molecules. Defects in the director field can arise due to external factors such as applied…

This paper aims to provide an introduction to a basic form of the ${\bf Q}$-tensor approach to modelling liquid crystals, which has seen increased interest in recent years. The increase in interest in this type of modelling approach has…

In this paper, we consider the Q-tensor model of nematic liquid crystals, which couples the Navier-Stokes equations with a parabolic-type equation describing the evolution of the directions of the anisotropic molecules, in the half-space.…

We consider the one-constant Landau - de Gennes model for nematic liquid crystals. The order parameter is a traceless tensor field $\mathbf{Q}$, which is constrained to be uniaxial: $\mathbf{Q} = s (\mathbf{n}\otimes\mathbf{n} - d^{-1}…
