Abstract

We study models kinetic models of polymeric fluids. We introduce a notion of solutions which is based on moments of polymeric distributions. We prove global existence and uniqueness of a large class of initial data for diffusive systems of kinetic equations coupled to fluid equations. As a corollary, we obtain a rigorous derivation of Oldroyd-B closure. We also prove decay of free energy for all the systems considered.
