    Denote by \(u\) and \(p\) the velocity and pressure of the fluid, and \(Q\) the configuration of the spring, and hence the dumbbell, then \(Q\) obeys the following equation: \[ {\partial Q\over\partial t}+ (u\cdot\nabla) Q- (\nabla u)^TQ= -F(Q)+\dot w(t),\tag{1} \] where \(\dot w(t)\) is Gaussian white noise in time. The complete model for the full polymer-polymer system is then given by \[ {\partial u\over\partial t}+ (u\cdot\nabla)u+\nabla p= u+\nabla\tau,\quad \nabla u= 0,\tag{2} \] where \(\tau\) is the polymer contribution to stress, which is expressed via the Kramers expression \[ \tau(x,t)= E(F(Q)\otimes Q).\tag{3} \] The authors prove the following main result: Assume that the spring force \(F\) and the initial value satisfy the following conditions: (i) The function \(\gamma\) is \(C^\infty\) from \([0,+\infty)\) to \((0,+\infty)\), and \(\gamma'(| Q|^2)\geq 0\) and the derivative of \(F\) satisfies that \(|\nabla^m_{Q} F(Q)|\leq C(1+ | Q|^p)\) \((m= 0,1,2,3,4)\), where \(C\) is a constant and \(p\) is a certain nonnegative integer. (ii) \(\| u_0\|_{H^4}\leq \text{Const}.\), \(|\nabla^mQ_0|\leq \text{Const}.\) \((m= 0,1,2,3,4)\). Then there exists a \(T^*\) such that for \(t\leq T^*\), (1)--(3) has a unique strong solution \(u\) with \(u\in C^1([0, T^*], C^2(D))\cap L^2([0, T^*], H^5(D))\).
