Global Strong Solution to the Density-Dependent 2-D Liquid Crystal Flows

Abstract EN

The initial-boundary value problem for the density-dependent flow of nematic crystals is studied in a 2-D bounded smooth domain.

For the initial density away from vacuum, the existence and uniqueness is proved for the global strong solution with the large initial velocity u0 and small ∇d0.

We also give a regularity criterion ∇d∈Lp(0,T;Lq(Ω)) (2/q)+(2/p)=1, 2
