We study a flow of dilute polymers in a solvent (e.g. water). Hence, we
consider the non-Newtonian fluid equation. We also assume that polymers
are chain-like molecules consisting of monomers and we take into
account the polymerization process. Therefore, the tensor in the
non-Newtonian fluid equation is dependent on the solution of the
evolutionary equation responsible for the behavior of the particles. We
show the existence of the solutions using the renormalization and
duality theory for the transport equation and the theory of
non-Newtonian fluids."
