    On asymptotic isotropy for a hydrodynamic model of liquid crystals
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Dai, Mimi; Feireisl, Eduard; Rocca, Elisabetta; Schimperna, Giulio; Schonbek, Maria E.
    We study a PDE system describing the motion of liquid crystals by means of the Q?tensor description for the crystals coupled with the incompressible Navier-Stokes system. Using the method of Fourier splitting, we show that solutions of the system tend to the isotropic state at the rate (1 + t)-β as t → ∞ for a certain β > 1/2 .
