Abstract
We study the global existence and uniqueness of a strong solution to the kinetic thermomechanical Cucker-Smale (for short, TCS) model coupled with Stokes equations in the whole space. The coupled system consists of the kinetic TCS equation for a particle ensemble and the Stokes equations for a fluid via a drag force. In this paper, we present a complete analysis of the existence of global-in-time strong solutions to the coupled model without any smallness restrictions on the initial data.
