In this paper, we study the simplified system of the original Ericksen--Leslie equations for the flow of liquid crystals [10]. Under Serrin criteria [13], we prove a partial interior regularity result of weak solutions for the three-dimensional incompressible liquid crystal system.
Keywords: partial regularity, Serrin criteria, heat kernel theory., Incompressible liquid crystals, Calderón-Zygmund inequality.
