An optimal result for global existence in a three-dimensional Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system involving tensor-valued sensitivity with saturation (Q2421274): Difference between revisions

This paper deals with a Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system with rotational flux in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^3$ with a smooth boundary. We recall that such kind of equations describe the chemotaxis, the biased movement of cells (or organisms) in response to chemical gradients, that plays an important role in coordinating cell migration in many biological phenomena. The authors, by using a variant of the natural gradient-like energy functional, are able to prove that for all reasonable regular initial data, a corresponding initial-boundary value problem has a globally defined weak solution. This result improves the results known in literature. Furthermore, in comparison with the result of the corresponding fluid-free system, the optimal condition on the parameter $\alpha$ for global (weak) existence is established.
