• We study a kinetic-fluid model in a $3D$ bounded domain. More precisely, this model is a coupling of the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation with the local alignment force and the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We prove the global existence of weak solutions to it for the isentropic fluid (adiabatic coefficient $\gamma> 3/2$) and hence extend the existence result of Choi and Jung [Asymptotic analysis for a Vlasov-Fokker-Planck/Navier-Stokes system in a bounded domain, arXiv: 1912.13134v2], where the velocity of the fluid is supplemented with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition.
