Title
On Well-Posedness and Decay of Strong Solutions for 3D Incompressible Smectic-A Liquid Crystal Flows
Abstract
In this paper, we study a hydrodynamic system that models smectic-A liquid crystal flow in $${\mathbb {R}}^3$$ . This model consists of the Navier–Stokes equations for fluid velocity coupled with a fourth-order equation for the layer variable. The main purpose is to analyze the well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of strong solutions. We first prove the local well-posedness through the higher-order a prior estimates of the solution and Galerkin method. Then, we establish the existence of global strong solution provided that $$ \Vert u_0 \Vert _{ \dot{H }^{\frac{1}{2} }} +\Vert \varphi _0\Vert _{\dot{ H} ^{\frac{3}{2} }} +\Vert \varphi _0\Vert _{\dot{ H} ^{\frac{7}{2} }} $$ is sufficiently small. Finally, we show the temporary decay estimates for the higher-order derivatives of strong solution by using the negative Sobolev norm estimates.
