Global Weak Solutions to the Equations of Compressible Flow of Nematic Liquid Crystals in Two Dimensions
We consider weak solutions to a simplified Ericksen-Leslie system of two-dimensional compressible flow of nematic liquid crystals. An initialboundary value problem is first studied in a bounded domain. By developing new techniques and estimates to overcome the difficulties induced by the supercritical nonlinearity |∇d|d in the equations of angular momentum on the direction field, and adapting t...
متن کاملStrong solutions of the compressible nematic liquid crystal flow
We study strong solutions of the simplified Ericksen-Leslie system modeling compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in a domain Ω ⊂ R. We first prove the local existence of unique strong solutions provided that the initial data ρ0, u0, d0 are sufficiently regular and satisfy a natural compatibility condition. The initial density function ρ0 may vanish on an open subset (i.e., an initial vacuu...
متن کاملBlow up criterion for compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in dimension three
In this paper, we consider the short time strong solution to a simplified hydrodynamic flow modeling the compressible, nematic liquid crystal materials in dimension three. We establish a criterion for possible breakdown of such solutions at finite time in terms of the temporal integral of both the maximum norm of the deformation tensor of velocity gradient and the square of maximum norm of grad...
متن کاملWeak anchoring energy and pretilt of a nematic liquid crystal
2014 We extend the wedge technique of Rivière et al. to measure the pretilt angle 03A6 and the (weak) anchoring energy of a nematic liquid crystal oriented on a suitably treated glass surface. The liquid crystal is placed in a wedge shaped space formed by the plate to be studied and a « standard » plate giving a strong homeotropic anchoring. Instead of using a total reflection technique, we mea...
متن کاملWeak Solution to Compressible Hydrodynamic Flow of Liquid Crystals in Dimension One
We consider the equation modeling the compressible hydrodynamic flow of liquid crystals in one dimension. In this paper, we establish the existence of a weak solution (ρ, u, n) of such a system when the initial density function 0 ≤ ρ0 ∈ L for γ > 1, u0 ∈ L, and n0 ∈ H. This extends a previous result by [12], where the existence of a weak solution was obtained under the stronger assumption that ...
