This paper considers a simplified three dimensional Ericksen-Leslie System for nematic liquid crystal flows in the unbounded domain Ω := R + × R 2 or the smooth bounded domain Ω. The hydrodynamic system consists of the Navier-Stokes type equations for the fluid velocity coupled with a convective Ginzburg-Landau type equation for the averaged molecular orientation. We first establish the global existence of Sobolev regular solution with finite energies in Sobolev space H s ( Ω ) × H s ( Ω ), where the index s of the Sobolev space can be any large fixed integer, but s + . Then we give an asymptotic expansions of a family of Sobolev regularity solutions for such system in Ω.
