Energy Dissipation and Regularity for a Coupled Navier-Stokes and Q-Tensor System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a complex non-newtonian fluid that models the flow of nematic liquid crystals. The fluid is described by a system that couples a forced Navier-Stokes system with a parabolic-type system. We prove the existence of global weak solutions in dimensions two and three. We show the existence of a Lyapunov functional for the smooth solutions of the coupled system and use the cancellations that allow its existence to prove higher global regularity, in dimension two. We also show the weak-strong uniqueness in dimension two.

Well-Posedness of a Fully Coupled Navier-Stokes/Q-tensor System with Inhomogeneous Boundary Data
We prove short-time well-posedness and existence of global weak solutions of the Beris–Edwards model for nematic liquid crystals in the case of a bounded domain with inhomogeneous mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with an evolution equation for the Q-tensor. The solutions possess higher regularity in time of order one com...
متن کاملWeak Time Regularity and Uniqueness for a Q-Tensor Model
The coupled Navier-Stokes and Q-Tensor system is one of the models used to describe the behavior of the nematic liquid crystals. The existence of weak solutions and a uniqueness criteria have been already studied (see [11] for a Cauchy problem in the whole R3 and [7] for a initial-boundary problem in a bounded domain Ω). Nevertheless, results on strong regularity have only been treated in [11] ...
متن کاملGlobal Existence and Regularity for the Full Coupled Navier-Stokes and Q-Tensor System
In this paper we study the full system of incompressible liquid crystals, as modelled in the Qtensor framework. Under certain conditions we prove the global existence of weak solutions in dimension two or three and the existence of global regular solutions in dimension two. We also prove the weak-strong uniqueness of the solutions, for suficiently regular initial data.

An implicit finite volume model is developed to simulate wave interaction with a vertical porous seawall in two-dimensional vertical plane. The algorithm solves the complete Navier–Stokes equations in two steps. First the pressure term in the momentum equations is excluded and the resultant advection–diffusion equations are solved. In the second step the continuity and the momentum equations wi...
متن کاملNonisothermal nematic liquid crystal flows with the Ball-Majumdar free energy
In this paper we prove the existence of global in time weak solutions for an evolutionary PDE system modelling nonisothermal Landau-de Gennes nematic liquid crystal (LC) flows in three dimensions of space. In our model, the incompressible Navier-Stokes system for the macroscopic velocity u is coupled to a nonlinear convective parabolic equation describing the evolution of the Q-tensor Q, namely...
