abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Here we investigate the kinematic transports of the defects in the nematic
liquid crystal system by numerical experiments. The model is a shear flow case of the
viscoelastic continuum model simplified from the Ericksen-Leslie system. The numerical
experiments are carried out by using a difference method. Based on these numerical
experiments we find some interesting and important relationships between the kinematic
transports and the characteristics of the flow. We present the development and
interaction of the defects. These results are partly consistent with the observation from
the experiments. Thus this scheme illustrates, to some extent, the kinematic effects of
the defects.</p>},
