The chemotaxis Navier-Stokes system {n(t) + u . del n = Delta n - del . (n chi(c)del c), c(t) + u . del c = Delta c - nf (c), u(t) + (u . del)u = Delta u+del P+n del Phi, (*) (0.1) del . u = 0, is considered under homogeneous boundary conditions of Neumann type for n and c, and of Dirichlet type for u, in a bounded convex domain Omega subset of R-3 with smooth boundary, where Phi is an element of W-2,W-infinity (Omega), and where f is an element of C-1([0, infinity)) and chi is an element of C-2([0, infinity)) are nonnegative with f (0) = 0. Problems of this type have been used to describe the mutual interaction of populations of swimming aerobic bacteria with the surrounding fluid. Up to now, however, global existence results seem to be available only for certain simplified variants such as e.g. the two-dimensional analogue of (*), or the associated chemotaxis Stokes system obtained on neglecting the nonlinear convective term in the fluid equation. The present work gives an affirmative answer to the question of global solvability for (*) in the following sense: Under mild assumptions on the initial data, and under modest structural assumptions on f and x, inter alia allowing for the prototypical case when f (s) = s for all s >= 0 and chi equivalent to const., the corresponding initial-boundary value problem is shown to possess a globally defined weak solution. This solution is obtained as the limit of smooth solutions to suitably regularized problems, where appropriate compactness properties are derived on the basis of a priori estimates gained from an energy-type inequality for (*) which in an apparently novel manner combines the standard L-2 dissipation property of the fluid evolution with a quasi-dissipative structure associated with the chemotaxis subsystem in (*).
