Regularity criteria for a coupled Navier-Stokes and \(Q\)-tensor system (Q355596)

Summary: We study a system describing the evolution of a nematic liquid crystal flow. The system couples a forced Navier-Stokes system describing the flow with a parabolic-type system describing the evolution of the nematic crystal director fields (\(Q\)-tensors). We prove some regularity criteria for the local strong solutions. However, we do not provide estimates on the rates of increase of high norms.
