The next generation gravitational wave (GW) detectors - Einstein Telescope
(ET) and Cosmic Explorer (CE), will have distance horizons up to
$\mathcal{O}(10)$ Gpc for detecting binary neutron star (BNS) mergers. This
will make them ideal for triggering high-energy neutrino searches from BNS
mergers at the next generation neutrino detectors, such as IceCube-Gen2. We
calculate the distance limits as a function of the time window of neutrino
analysis, up to which meaningful triggers from the GW detectors can be used to
minimize backgrounds and collect a good sample of high-energy neutrino events
at the neutrino detectors, using the sky localization capabilities of the GW
detectors. We then discuss the prospects of the next generation detectors to
work in synergy to facilitate coincident neutrino detections or to constrain
the parameter space in the case of non-detection of neutrinos. We show that
good localization of GW events, which can be achieved by multiple third
generation GW detectors, is necessary to detect a GW-associated neutrino event
or put a meaningful constraint ($\sim 3\sigma$ confidence level) on neutrino
emission models. Such a model independent analysis can also help constrain
physical models and hence provide insights into neutrino production mechanisms
in binary neutron star mergers.
