In this paper, we consider a simplified Ericksen--Leslie model for the nematic liquid crystal flow. The evolution system consists of the Navier--Stokes equations coupled with a convective Ginzburg--Landau type equation for the averaged molecular orientation. We suppose that the Navier--Stokes equations are characterized by a no-slip boundary condition and a time-dependent external force $\mathbf{g}(t)$, while the equation for the molecular director is subject to a time-dependent Dirichlet boundary condition $\mathbf{h}(t)$. We show that in the two-dimensional case, each global weak solution converges to a single stationary state when $\mathbf{h}(t)$ and $\mathbf{g}(t)$ converge to a time-independent boundary datum $\mathbf{h}_\infty$ and $\mathbf{0}$, respectively. Estimates on the convergence rate are also obtained. In the three-dimensional case, we prove that global weak solutions are eventually strong so that results similar to the two-dimensional case can be proved. We also show the existence of globa...
