Global existence of weak solutions for the 2D incompressible Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes equations with partial diffusion (Q2676777)

This paper is concerned with the existence of global weak solution to the Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system in \(\mathbb{R}^2\), where the diffusion coefficient of cell density in the system is taken to be zero. By using the regularization approximation method, the authors first establish the global existence of smooth solutions of the approximation systems, and then further determine the global existence of weak solutions of the original problem by using energy estimates and some compactness discussions.
