Asymptotic Behavior for a Nematic Liquid Crystal Model with Different Kinematic Transport Properties
We study the asymptotic behavior of global solutions to hydrodynamical
systems modeling the nematic liquid crystal flows under kinematic transports
for molecules of different shapes. The coupling system consists of
Navier-Stokes equations and kinematic transport equations for the molecular
orientations. We prove the convergence of global strong solutions to single
steady states as time tends to infinity as well as estimates on the convergence
rate both in 2D for arbitrary regular initial data and in 3D for certain
particular cases
