摘要

This note is concerned with the Cauchy problem on the 3D chemotaxis-Stokes equations with nonlinear diffusions and large initial data. We prove the global existence of weak solutions for all adiabatic exponents m is an element of [1,+infinity). In particular, the result fills up the gap between m = 1 by Winkler [24] and m is an element of (4/3, 2] by Liu and Lorz [16]. A similar result also holds for the 2D chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations.
