Abstract

The coupled chemotaxis fluid system \begin{equation} \left\{ \begin{array}{llc} \displaystyle n_t=\Delta n-\nabla\cdot(nS(x,n,c)\cdot\nabla c)-u\cdot\nabla n, &(x,t)\in \Omega\times (0,T),\\ c_t=\Delta c-nc-u\cdot\nabla c , &(x,t)\in\Omega\times (0,T),\\ u_t=\Delta u-\kappa(u\cdot\nabla)u+\nabla P+n\nabla\phi , &(x,t)\in\Omega\times (0,T),\\ \nabla\cdot u=0,&(x,t)\in\Omega\times (0,T), \end{array} \right.(\star) \end{equation} is considered under the no-flux boundary conditions for n,cn,c and the Dirichlet boundary condition for uu on a bounded smooth domain ΩRN\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^N (N=2,3N=2,3), κ=0,1\kappa=0,1. We assume that S(x,n,c)S(x,n,c) is a matrix-valued sensitivity under a mild assumption such that S(x,n,c)<S0(c0)|S(x,n,c)|<S_0(c_0) with some non-decreasing function S0C2((0,))S_0\in C^2((0,\infty)). It contrasts the related scalar sensitivity case that ()(\star) does not possess the natural {\em gradient-like} functional structure. Associated estimates based on the natural functional seem no longer available. In the present work, a global classical solution is constructed under a smallness assumption on c0L(Ω)\|c_0\|_{L^\infty(\Omega)} and moreover we obtain boundedness and large time convergence for the solution, meaning that small initial concentration of chemical forces stabilization.
