Abstract: We consider a two-tensor hydrodynamics derived from the molecular model, where high-order tensors are determined by closure approximation through the maximum entropy state or the quasi-entropy. We prove the existence and uniqueness of local in time smooth solutions to the two-tensor system. Then, we rigorously justify the connection between the molecular-theory-based two-tensor hydrodynamics and the biaxial frame hydrodynamics. More specifically, in the framework of Hilbert expansion, we show the convergence of the solution to the two-tensor hydrodynamics to the solution to the frame hydrodynamics.
