Abstract
A coupled kinetic–fluid model describing the interactions between Cucker–Smale flocking particles and a Stokes fluid is presented. We demonstrate the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to this coupled system in a three-dimensional spatially periodic domain for initial data that are sufficiently regular, but not necessarily small.
