KW - Nematic liquid crystal flow, decoupled scheme, different time steps, error estimates.
AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">This paper designs a decoupled scheme for approximating nematic liquid crystal flow
based on a fully discrete mixed finite element method, which allows different time steps for different
physical fields. Besides, error estimates for velocity and macroscopic molecular orientation of
the nematic liquid crystal flow are shown. Finally, numerical tests are provided to demonstrate
efficiency of the scheme. It is found the presented scheme can save lots of computational time
compared with common decoupled scheme.</p>
