The Navier–Stokes–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck System as a Scaling Limit of Particles in a Fluid

Convergence of a system of particles, interacting with a fluid, to Navier–Stokes–Vlasov–Fokker–Planck system is studied. The interaction between particles and fluid is described by Stokes drag force. The empirical measure of particles is proved to converge to the Vlasov–Fokker–Planck component of the system and the velocity of the fluid coupled with the particles converges in the uniform topology to the the Navier–Stokes component. A new uniqueness result for the PDE system is added.
