Resumo: In this talk we discuss various aspects of the analysis of the Ericksen-Leslie equations describing the flow of nematic liquid crystals both in the isothermal and nonisothermal situation. We consider here the case of general Leslie and general Ericksen stress and obtain a rather complete understanding of the dynamics of this system.
