摘要

This paper presents a rigorous error analysis for a first-order, fully decoupled numerical scheme for the Ericksen-Leslie model of nematic liquid crystal flows, formulated within the scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) framework. The proposed scheme can be viewed as a simplified variant of the second-order PCSAV-ECT scheme introduced in our previous work [4], which has demonstrated excellent numerical stability and accuracy. Under suitable regularity assumptions, we establish optimal first-order error estimates for the velocity, director field and pressure. A key ingredient of the analysis is a discrete \(L^\infty \) L -bound of the director field, which allows effective control of the nonlinear coupling terms and facilitates the derivation of optimal error bounds.
