Abstract

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the regular solution to a simplified Ericksen–Leslie model for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flow in a bounded smooth domain in R2 as the Mach number tends to zero. The evolution system consists of the compressible Navier–Stokes equations coupled with the transported heat flow for the averaged molecular orientation. We suppose that the Navier–Stokes equations are characterized by a Navier's slip boundary condition, while the transported heat flow is subject to Neumann boundary condition. By deriving a differential inequality with certain decay property, the low Mach limit of the solutions is verified for all time, provided that the initial data are well-prepared.
