| Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the uniform estimates of strong solutions in the Mach number ? and t ∈ [0,∞) for the compressible nematic liquid crystal flows in a 3‐D bounded domain  , provided the initial data are small enough and the density is close to the constant state. Here, we consider the case that the velocity field satisfies the Dirichlet boundary condition. Based on the uniform estimates, we obtain the global convergence of the compressible nematic liquid crystal system to the incompressible nematic liquid crystals system as the Mach number tends to zero. |
