Abstract

ABSTRACT We study the Cauchy problem of the new model of the three dimensional inertial nematic electrolyte, which models the N-species charged particles diffuse and advect in the nematic liquid crystalline matrix. This new model was proposed by [Calderer MC, Golovaty D, Lavrentovich O, et al. Modeling of nematic electrolytes and nonlinear electroosmosis. SIAM J Appl Math. 2016;76:2260–2285. doi: 10.1137/16M1056225]. The inertial effect is such that the system involves a hyperbolic feature. We first derive the local existence in large initial data when the flow is isotropy, i.e. . For the anisotropy case (, ), we obtain small data local solutions. Then, by seeking some further dissipative mechanisms from the elliptic structures, the local solution can be extended globally near the constant states with electro-neutrality condition.
