Global weak solutions to a 3-dimensional degenerate and singular chemotaxis-Navier--Stokes system with logistic source

Abstract: This paper considers the degenerate and singular chemotaxis-Navier--Stokes system with logistic term $n_t + u\cdot\nabla n =\Delta n^m - \chi\nabla\cdot(n\nabla c) + \kappa n -\mu n^2$, $x \in \Omega,\ t>0$, $c_t + u\cdot\nabla c = \Delta c - nc$, $x \in \Omega,\ t>0$, $u_t + (u\cdot\nabla)u = \Delta u + \nabla P + n\nabla\Phi, \quad \nabla\cdot u = 0$, $x \in \Omega,\ t>0$, where $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^3$ is a bounded domain and $\chi,\kappa \ge 0$ and $m, \mu >0$. In the above system without fluid environment Jin (J. Differential Equations, 2017) showed existence and boundedness of global weak solutions. On the other hand, in the above system with $m=1$, Lankeit (Math.\ Models Methods Appl. Sci., 2016) established global existence of weak solutions. However, the above system with $m>0$ has not been studied yet. The purpose of this talk is to establish global existence of weak solutions in the chemotaxis-Navier--Stokes system with degenerate diffusion and logistic term.
