Global existence of weak solutions for the 3D axisymmetric chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear diffusion (Q2158223)

The authors consider the Cauchy problem for the three dimensional axisymmetric chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations with nonlinear diffusion \[ \partial_tn+u\cdot\nabla n-\Delta n^m=-\nabla\cdot(n\nabla c), \] \[ \partial_tc+u\cdot\nabla c-\Delta c=-cn, \] \[ \partial_tu+u\cdot\nabla u-\Delta u+\nabla P=-n\nabla\phi, \] \[ \nabla\cdot u=0, \] \[ n(0,x)=n_0(x),c(0,x)=c_0(x),u(0,x)=u_0(x). \] The authors show the global existence of weak solutions for the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations with \(m \in[5/3,2]\).
