摘要
We consider the Beris-Edwards system modelling incompressible liquid crystal flows of nematic type. This couples a Navier-Stokes system for the fluid velocity with a parabolic reaction-convection-diffusion system for the Q-tensors describing the average orientation of liquid crystal molecules. In this paper, we study the effect that the flow has on the dynamics of the Q-tensors by considering two fundamental aspects: the preservation of the eigenvalue-range and the dynamical emergence of defects in the limit of large Ericksen number.
