The authors study a model of dilute suspension of particles composed of a coupling between the incompressible Navier-Stokes system and the Fokker-Planck equation in a bounded domain. Supposing a no flux boundary condition for the distribution function for the Fokker-Planck and a no slip condition for the Navier-Stokes part, they prove the existence of a weak solution for the coupled system in two dimensions.
