Abstract
The numerical solution of the flow of a liquid crystal governed by a particular instance of the Ericksen-Leslie equations is considered. Convergence of finite element approximations is established under appropriate regularity hypotheses, and numerical experiments exhibiting the interaction of singularities and the coupling of the director and momentum equations are presented.
