Analysis of PDEs 2012-11-28 v2

Abstract

In this paper, the system of particles coupled with fluid is considered. The particles are described by a Vlasov equation, and the fluid is governed by a forced Navier-Stokes equations. The interaction with fluid phase governed by Navier-Stokes equations is taken into account through a source term. The resulting system, namely Navier-Stokes-Vlasov equations, is shown to have global weak solutions in three spatial dimensions, and to have a unique global solution in two spatial dimensions.
