Local well-posedness of the inertial Qian–Sheng’s Q-tensor dynamical model near uniaxial equilibrium

Abstract We consider the inertial Qian–Sheng’s Q-tensor dynamical model for the nematic liquid crystal flow, which can be viewed as a system coupling the hyperbolic-type equations for the Q-tensor parameter with the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations for the fluid velocity. We prove the existenc...
