Abstract: We study the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system [left{; �egin{aligned} n_t + ucdot

abla n &=Delta n - ablacdot (nS(x,n,c) abla c), &&xinOmega, t > 0, \ c_t + ucdot abla c &=Delta c - n f(c), && xin Omega, t > 0, \ u_t + (ucdot abla) u &=Delta u + abla P + n abla phi, ;;;;

ablacdot u = 0, && xinOmega, t > 0 end{aligned} ight. ag{star} ] with no-flux boundary conditions for n, c in a bounded, convex domain OmegasubseteqmathbbR2 with a smooth boundary, which is motivated by recent modeling approaches from biology for aerobic bacteria suspended in a sessile water drop. We further do not assume the chemotactic sensitivity S to be scalar as is common, but to be able to attain values in mathbbR2imes2, which allows for more complex modeling of bacterial behavior near the boundary. This is seen as a potential source of the structure formation observed in experiments. While there have been various results for scalar chemotactic sensitivities S due to a convenient energy-type inequality and some for the non-scalar case with only a Stokes fluid equation (or other strong restrictions) simplifying the analysis of the third equation in (star) significantly, we consider the full combined case under little restrictions for the system giving us very little to go on in terms of a priori estimates. We nonetheless manage to still achieve sufficient estimates using Trudinger-Moser type inequalities to extend the existence results seen in a recent work by Winkler for the Stokes case with non-scalar S to the full Navier-Stokes case. Namely, we construct a similar global mass-preserving generalized solution for (star) in planar convex domains for sufficiently smooth parameter functions S, f and phi and only under the fairly weak assumptions that S is appropriately bounded, f is non-negative and f(0)=0.
