We study a PDE system describing the motion of liquid crystals by means of the Q−tensor description for the crystals coupled with the incompressible Navier-Stokes system. Using the method of Fourier splitting, we show that solutions of the system tend to the isotropic state at the rate (1+ t)−β as t→∞ for a certain β > 1 2 .
