Abstract

Existence and uniqueness of local strong solutions for the Beris-Edwards model for nematic liquid crystals, which couples the Navier-Stokes equations with an evolution equation for the Q-tensor, is established on a bounded domain Omega subset of R-d in the case of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The classical Beris-Edwards model is enriched by including a dependence of the fluid viscosity on the Q-tensor. The proof is based on a linearization of the system and Banach's fixed-point theorem.
