Long-time Behavior for Nonlinear Hydrodynamic System Modeling the Nematic Liquid Crystal Flows

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study a simplified system of the original Ericksen--Leslie equations for the flow of nematic liquid crystals. This is a coupled non-parabolic dissipative dynamic system. We show the convergence of global classical solutions to single steady states as time goes to infinity (uniqueness of asymptotic limit) by using the Łojasiewicz--Simon approach. Moreover, we provide an estimate on the convergence rate. Finally, we discuss some possible extensions of the results to certain generalized problems with changing density or free-slip boundary condition.
