Abstract

In this paper, we study the global existence and extensibility criterion of large-amplitude solutions to a chemotaxis-fluid model in bounded domains. The model under consideration is an integrated version of several recently studied models in bio-fluids, which is a coupled system of partial differential equations with strong nonlinearities. The results obtained in this paper appear to be among the first ones for the integrated model.
