Duvaut and Lions [2] studied the field of velocities and of temperatures in a moving incompressible Bingham fluid endowed with viscosity μ(θ) depending on the temperature θ and established the existence of a weak solution in the case of a two dimensional fluid. However, the problem of uniqueness remained unsolved. The purpose of the present paper is to give an affirmative answer to the problem, that is, to show the local existence (resp. the global existence) in the time and the uniqueness of (strong) solutions in three dimensions under the conditions that (i) the time (resp. the initial velocity and the external force) and (ii) the rate of variation of the viscosity and the yield limit with respect to the temperature are both sufficiently small. It will be easily seen that the global existence and the uniqueness also hold in the two dimensional case whenever the rate (ii) is sufficiently small.
