Abstract: In this work we extend a recent result to chemotaxis fluid systems which include matrix-valued sensitivity functions S(x,n,c):Omegaimes[0,infty)2omathbbR3imes3 in addition to the porous medium type diffusion, which were discussed in the previous work. Namely, we will consider the system �egin{align*} left{ �egin{array}{r@{,}c@{,}c@{ }l@{quad}l@{quad}l@{,}c} n_{t}&+&ucdot!

abla n&=Delta n^m- abla!cdot(nS(x,n,c) abla c), &xinOmega,& t>0,\ c_{t}&+&ucdot! abla c&=Delta c-c+n, &xinOmega,& t>0,\ u_{t}&+&(ucdot abla)u&=Delta u+ abla P+n ablaphi, &xinOmega,& t>0,\ &&

ablacdot u&=0, &xinOmega,& t>0, end{array} ight. end{align*} in a bounded domain OmegasubsetmathbbR3 with smooth boundary. Assuming that mgeq1, alphageq0 satisfy m+alpha>frac43, that the matrix-valued function S(x,n,c):Omegaimes[0,infty)2omathbbR3imes3 satisfies |S(x,n,c)|leqfracS0(1+n)alpha for some S0>0 and suitably regular nonnegative initial data, we show that the corresponding no-flux-Dirichlet boundary value problem emits at least one global very weak solution. Upon comparison with results for the fluid-free system this condition appears to be optimal. Moreover, imposing a stronger condition for the exponents m and alpha, i.e. m+2alpha>frac53, we will establish the existence of at least one global weak solution in the standard sense.
