contents We consider an evolution system modeling a flow of colloidal particles which are suspended in an incompressible fluid and accounts for colloidal crystallization. The system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations for the volume averaged velocity coupled with the so-called Phase-Field Crystal equation for the density deviation. Considering this system in a periodic domain and assuming that the viscosity as well as the mobility depend on the density deviation, we first prove the existence of a weak solution in dimension three. Then, in dimension two, we establish the existence of a (unique) strong solution.
