The existence and long time dynamics of globally defined weak solutions for the coupled system are established, using weak convergence methods, compactness and interpolation arguments. The symmetry and traceless properties of the Q-tensor play key roles in this process.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-07-27T22:08:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "global weak solution", "coupled compressible navier-stokes", "compressible navier-stokes/q-tensor system modeling", "nematic liquid crystal flow", "weak convergence methods" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1307.7316W" } } }
