Abstract

We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the incompressible four-component Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system with rotational flux {nt+un=Δn(nS(x,n,c)c)nm,xΩ,t>0,ct+uc=Δcc+m,xΩ,t>0,mt+um=Δmnm,xΩ,t>0,ut+κ(u)u+P=Δu+(n+m)ϕ,xΩ,t>0,u=0,xΩ,t>0\left\{\begin{array}{l} n_t+u\cdot\nabla n=\Delta n-\nabla\cdot(nS(x,n,c)\nabla c)-nm,\quad x\in \Omega, t>0,\\ c_t+u\cdot\nabla c=\Delta c-c+m,\quad x\in \Omega, t>0,\\ m_t+u\cdot\nabla m=\Delta m-nm,\quad x\in \Omega, t>0,\\ u_t+\kappa(u \cdot \nabla)u+\nabla P=\Delta u+(n+m)\nabla \phi,\quad x\in \Omega, t>0,\\ \nabla\cdot u=0,\quad x\in \Omega, t>0 \end{array}\right. in a bounded domain ΩR3\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3 with smooth boundary, where κR\kappa\in \mathbb{R} is given constant, SS is a matrix-valued sensitivity satisfying S(x,n,c)CS(1+n)α|S(x,n,c)|\leq C_S(1+n)^{-\alpha} with some CS>0C_S> 0 and α0\alpha\geq 0. As the case κ=0\kappa = 0 (with α13\alpha\geq\frac{1}{3} or the initial data satisfy a certain smallness condition) has been considered in [14], based on new gradient-like functional inequality, it is shown in the present paper that the corresponding initial-boundary problem with κ0\kappa \neq 0 admits at least one global weak solution if α>0\alpha>0. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first analytical work for the {\bf full three-dimensional four-component} chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system.
