On singularities of Ericksen-Leslie system in dimension three

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the initial and boundary value problem of Ericksen-Leslie system modeling nematic liquid crystal flows in dimension three. Two examples of singularity at finite time are constructed. The first example is constructed in a special axisymmetric class with suitable axisymmetric initial and boundary data, while the second example is constructed for an initial data with small energy but nontrivial topology. A counter example of maximum principle to the system is constructed by utilizing the Poiseuille flow in dimension one.
