We consider a 2D mathematical model describing the motion of asolution of surfactants submitted to a high shear stress in aCouette-Taylor system. We are interested in a stabilization processobtained thanks to the shear. We prove that, if the shear stress islarge enough, there exists global in time solution for smallinitial data and that the solution of the linearized system (controlled by a nonconstant parameter) tendsto 0 as t goes to infinity. Thisexplains rigorously some experiments.
