Title: Preservation of physicality for the Beris-Edwards system in the Q-tensor theory
Abstract:
The Beris-Edward equations are a hydrodynamic system modeling nematic liquid crystals in the setting of Q-tensor order parameter. Mathematically, it is a coupling system composed of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and a Q-tensor equation of parabolic type.
In this talk we shall be focused on the Beris-Edwards system and discuss whether a crucial physical property would be preserved during time evolution. This physical property is closely related to the eigenvalue constraint of the Q-tensor order parameter.
