Abstract

In this work we analyze a system of nonlinear evolution partial differential equations modeling the fluid-structure interaction associated to the dynamics of an elastic vesicle immersed in a moving incompressible viscous fluid. This system of equations couples an equation for a phase field variable, used to determine the position of vesicle membrane deformed by the action of the fluid, to the alpha-Navier- Stokes equations with an extra nonlinear interaction term. We prove global in time existence and uniqueness of solutions for this system in suitable functional spaces even in the three-dimensional case. (AU)
