چکیده
In this paper we study a gradient flow generated by the Landau--de Gennes free energy that describes nematic liquid crystal configurations in space of $Q$-tensors. This density functional is composed three quadratic terms as elastic part, and singular potential bulk part considered natural enforcement physical constraint on eigenvalues $Q$. The system nondiagonal parabolic with which trends to infinity logarithmically when $Q$ approach boundary. We give rigorous proof for rather general initial data possibly infinite energy, has unique strong solution after any positive time $t_0$. Furthermore, detaches from boundary sufficiently large $T_0$. also an estimate Hausdorff measure set where touches thus prove partial regularity result intermediate stage $(0,T_0)$.

Evolution of non-isothermal Landau-de Gennes nematic liquid crystals flows with singular potential
We discuss a 3D model describing the time evolution of nematic liquid crystals in the framework of Landau-de Gennes theory, where the natural physical constraints are enforced by a singular free energy bulk potential proposed by J.M. Ball and A. Majumdar. The thermal effects are present through the component of the free energy that accounts for intermolecular interactions. The model is consiste...
متن کاملOn the Landau-de Gennes Elastic Energy of a Q-Tensor Model for Soft Biaxial Nematics
In the Landau–de Gennes theory of liquid crystals, the propensities for alignments of molecules are represented at each point of the fluid by an element Q of the vector space S0 of 3 × 3 real symmetric traceless matrices, or Q-tensors. According to Longa and Trebin [25], a biaxial nematic system is called soft biaxial if the tensor order parameter Q satisfies the constraint tr(Q) = const. After...
متن کاملA Landau–de Gennes Theory of Liquid Crystal Elastomers
In this article, we study minimization of the energy of a Landau-de Gennes liquid crystal elastomer. The total energy consists of the sum of the Lagrangian elastic stored energy function of the elastomer and the Eulerian Landau-de Gennes energy of the liquid crystal. There are two related sources of anisotropy in the model, that of the rigid units represented by the traceless nematic order tens...
متن کاملRefined approximation for a class of Landau-de Gennes energy minimizers
We study a class of Landau-de Gennes energy functionals in the asymptotic regime of small elastic constant L > 0. We revisit and sharpen the results in [18] on the convergence to the limit Oseen-Frank functional. We examine how the Landau-de Gennes global minimizers are approximated by the Oseen-Frank ones by determining the first order term in their asymptotic expansion as L → 0. We identify t...
