This fluid-kinetic coupling arises in the modeling of sedimentation phenomena. We prove that the local density of the particles and the fluid velocity enjoy a convergence to $0$ in large time and at a polynomial rate. In order to overcome the effect of the gravity, we rely on a fine analysis of the absorption phenomenon at the boundary. We obtain a family of decay estimates for the moments of the kinetic distribution, provided that the initial distribution function has a sufficient decay in the phase space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-05T18:04:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "half-space", "absorption", "three-dimensional vlasov-navier-stokes system set", "external gravity force", "initial distribution function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 53, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
