Extract

In this paper we focus on the existence of a weak solution to a system describing a self-propelled motion of a single deformable body in a viscous compressible fluid that occupies a bounded domain in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. The governing system considered for the fluid is the isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes equation. We prove the existence of a weak solution up to a collision.
