Abstract
In this paper, we consider the global regularity for the 2D generalized liquid crystal model with the fractional diffusion term -Lambda(2 alpha)u for the velocity field and -Lambda(2 beta)d for the vector field modeling the orientation of the crystal molecules. Global existence of smooth solutions is proved for the case alpha = 0, beta > 1. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
