Global Weak Solutions for Compressible Navier-Stokes-Vlasov-Fokker-Planck System

Abstract

The one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes-Vlasov-Fokker-Planck system with density-dependent viscosity and drag force coefficients is investigated in the present paper. The existence, uniqueness, and regularity of global weak solution to the initial value problem for general initial data are established in spatial periodic domain. Moreover, the long time behavior of the weak solution is analyzed. It is shown that as the time grows, the distribution function of the particles converges to the global Maxwellian, and both the fluid velocity and the macroscopic velocity of the particles converge to the same speed.
