Abstract: In this paper, we mainly propose and analyze a second-order, linear, coupled scheme for the Ginzburg-Landau model of the nematic liquid crystal flow, and prove its energy stability under discrete condition. Finally, we demonstrate the annihilation process of four singularities and rotating flows through numerical simulations, and verify the numerical accuracy of the scheme. The results show that the scheme has energy stability and good numerical accuracy.
