Abstract: Here we established the partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the dynamical systems modelling the flow of liquid crystals. It is a natural generalization of an earlier work of Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg on the Navier-Stokes system with some simplifications due to better estimates on the pressure term.

Keywords:  dynamical systems, flow of liquid crystals.
