Global well-posedness for a Smoluchowski equation coupled with Navier-Stokes equations in 2D

arXiv:math/0702589 · doi:10.1007/s00220-007-0384-2

Abstract

We prove global existence for a nonlinear Smoluchowski equation (a nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation) coupled with Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions. The proof uses a deteriorating regularity estimate and the tensorial structure of the main nonlinear terms.
