Global dynamics for the generalized chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system in $\mathbb{R}^3$

We consider the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes system with generalized fluid dissipation in $\mathbb{R}^3$: \begin{eqnarray*} \begin{cases} \partial_t n+u\cdot \nabla n=\Delta n- \nabla \cdot (\chi(c)n \nabla c),\\ \partial_t c+u \cdot \nabla c=\Delta c-nf(c),\\ \partial_t u +u \cdot \nabla u+\nabla P=-(-\Delta)^\alpha u-n\nabla \phi,\\ \nabla \cdot u=0, \end{cases} \end{eqnarray*} which describes the motion of swimming bacteria or bacillus subtilis suspended to water flows. First, we prove some blow-up criteria of strong solutions to the Cauchy problem, including the Prodi-Serrin type criterion ($\alpha>\frac{3}{4}$) and the Beir${\rm\tilde{a}}$o da Veiga type criterion $(\alpha>\frac{1}{2})$. Then, we verify the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for arbitrarily large initial fluid velocity and bacteria density for $\alpha\geq \frac{5}{4}$. Furthermore, in the scenario of $\frac{3}{4}<\alpha<\frac{5}{4}$, we establish uniform regularity estimates and optimal time-decay rates of global solutions if the $L^2$-norm of initial data is small. To our knowledge, this is the first result concerning the global existence and large-time behavior of strong solutions for the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes equations with possibly large oscillations.
