Corotational Hookean models of dilute polymeric fluids: existence of global weak solutions, weak-strong uniqueness, equilibration and macroscopic closure

We prove the existence of global weak solutions to the corotational Hookean dumbbell model, a system of PDEs arising in the kinetic theory of dilute polymers, involving the unsteady incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a bounded domain coupled to a Fokker–Planck type parabolic equation includin...
