Abstract

We are concerned with a two-phase ow system consisting of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation for particles coupled to the compressible Euler equations for the uid through the friction force. Global well-posedness of the Cauchy problem is established in perturbation framework, and rates of convergence of solutions toward equilibrium, which are algebraic in the whole space and exponential on torus, are also obtained under some additional conditions on initial data. The proof is based on the classical energy estimates © American Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
