Abstract

We consider the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system with generalized fluid dissipation in R3\mathbb{R}^3: \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{cases} \partial_t n+u\cdot \nabla n=\Delta n- \nabla \cdot (\chi(c)n \nabla c),\\ \partial_t c+u \cdot \nabla c=\Delta c-nf(c),\\ \partial_t u +u \cdot \nabla u+\nabla P=-(-\Delta)^\alpha u-n\nabla \phi,\\ \nabla \cdot u=0, \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*} which describes the motion of swimming bacteria or bacillus subtilis suspended to water flows. First, we prove some blow-up criteria of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem, including the Prodi-Serrin type criterion (α>34\alpha>\frac{3}{4}) and the Beira~{\rm\tilde{a}}o da Veiga type criterion (α>12)(\alpha>\frac{1}{2}). Then, we verify the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for arbitrarily large initial fluid velocity and bacteria density for α54\alpha\geq \frac{5}{4}. Furthermore, in the scenario of 34<α<54\frac{3}{4}<\alpha<\frac{5}{4}, we establish uniform regularity estimates and optimal time-decay rates of global solutions if the L2L^2-norm of initial data is small. To our knowledge, this is the first result concerning the global existence and large-time behavior of strong solutions for the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations with possibly large oscillations.
