In this paper we investigate the role of Parodi’s relation in the well-posedness and stability of the general Ericksen–Leslie system modeling nematic liquid crystal flows. First, we give a formal physical derivation of the Ericksen–Leslie system through an appropriate energy variational approach under Parodi’s relation, in which we can distinguish the conservative/dissipative parts of the induced elastic stress. Next, we prove global well-posedness and long-time behavior of the Ericksen–Leslie system under the assumption that the viscosityμ4is sufficiently large. Finally, under Parodi’s relation, we show the global well-posedness and Lyapunov stability for the Ericksen–Leslie system near local energy minimizers. The connection between Parodi’s relation and linear stability of the Ericksen–Leslie system is also discussed.
