Convergence to equilibrium of global weak solutions for a Q-tensor problem related to liquid crystals
We study a Q-tensor problem modeling the dynamic of nematic liquid crystals in 3D domains. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, with an extra stress tensor depending on the elastic forces of the liquid crystal, coupled with an Allen-Cahn system for the Q-tensor variable. This problem...

| Sumario: | We study a Q-tensor problem modeling the dynamic of nematic liquid crystals in 3D domains. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, with an extra stress tensor depending on the elastic forces of the liquid crystal, coupled with an Allen-Cahn system for the Q-tensor variable. This problem has a dissipative in time free-energy which leads, in particular, to prove the existence of global in time weak solutions. We analyze the large-time behavior of the weak solutions. By using a Lojasiewicz-Simon's result, we prove the convergence as time goes to infinity of the whole trajectory to a single equilibrium. |
