报告摘要：

In this talk, I will describe the simplified version of Ericksen and Leslie that models the hydrodynamic flow of nematic liquid crystals, which is a governing equation for the macroscopic continuum description of evolution of the material under the influence of both fluid velocity field and the macroscopic average of the microscopic orientation of rod-like liquid crystal molecules. I will indicate two ways to construct the finite time singularities for such a flow equation for suitably chosen initial data. 

This is a joint work with Tao Huang, Chun Liu, and Fanghua Lin.
