Abstract

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem for compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in the two-dimensional space (2D). We establish a blow-up criterion in terms of the density only, provided the macroscopic average of the nematic liquid crystal orientation field satisfies a geometric condition. In particular, the initial vacuum is allowed and the compatibility condition is removed.
