We prove the existence of the global weak entropy solution to the Doi–Saintillan–Shelley model for active and passive rod-like particle suspensions, which couples a Fokker–Planck equation with the incompressible Navier–Stokes or Stokes equation, under the no-flux boundary conditions, L2(Ω;L1(Sd611))L2(Ω;L1(Sd611)) initial data, and finite initial entropy for the particle distribution function in two and three dimensions. Furthermore, for the model with the Stokes equation, we obtain the global L2(Ω×Sd611)L2(Ω×Sd611) weak solution in two and three dimensions and the uniqueness in two dimension.

The authors proved in [5] that in a complete, connected, and simply connected Riemannian manifold, the volume of the intersection of two small geodesic balls depends only on the distance between the centers and the radii if and only if the space is harmonic. In this paper, we show that this proposition remains true, if the condition is restricted to balls of equal radii.
