In this work, we show the local existence and uniqueness of a coupled hyperbolic/parabolic system, where the coupling is partially accomplished through a strongly nonlinear term of polynomial growth. We show ultimately that the degree of the nonlinearity allowed depends upon the smoothness of a "piece" of the initial data and the geometry where the equations take place, and under a relatively mild imposition of smoothness, one can solve the system for nonlinearities of arbitrary polynomial bound.
