Abstract
In this paper, we study a simplified system for the flow of nematic liquid crystals in a bounded domain in the threeโdimensional space. We derive the basic energy law which enables us to prove the global existence of the weak solutions under the condition that the initial density belongs to L^ฮณ^(ฮฉ) for any \documentclass{article}\footskip=0pc\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\gamma >\frac{3}{2}$\end{document}. Especially, we also obtain that the weak solutions satisfy the energy inequality in integral or differential form. Copyright ยฉ 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

## Abstract We consider a model of the motion of a viscous dielectric liquid subjected to a DC electric field in the case when the bulk conduction results from the presence of a dissociationโrecombination process. The effects of both magnetic field and ionic diffusion are neglected. The existence o
In this paper we are concerned with the initial boundary value problem of the micropolar uid system in a three dimensional bounded domain. We study the resolvent problem of the linearized equations and prove the generation of analytic semigroup and its time decay estimates. In particular, L p -L q t
We use the EricksenแLeslie equations to investigate the solution branch of simple planar shear flow between moving parallel plates for non-flow-orienting nematic liquid crystals. We show the existence of infinitely many limit points on the solution branch of simple planar shear flow. Hence the tumbl
It is well known that, for reaction-diffusion systems, if the nonlinearities grow faster than a polynomial, nothing seems to be known for instance. The purpose of this paper is to give sufficient conditions guaranteeing global existence, uniqueness and uniform boundedness of solutions for coupled re
