Abstract
The dumbbell model is a coupled hydrodynamic-kinetic model for polymeric fluids in which the configurations of the dumbbells are described by stochastic differential equations. We prove well-posedness of this model by deriving directly a priori estimates on the stochastic model. Our results can be used to analyze stochastic simulation methods such as the ones that are based on Brownian configuration fields.
