Quantitative blow-up suppression for the Patlak-Keller-Segel(-Navier-Stokes) system via Couette flow on $\mathbb{R}^2$
Abstract
It is well known that solutions to the Patlak--Keller--Segel system on blow up in finite time if the initial mass exceeds . In this paper, we investigate the mixing effect induced by a Couette flow with a quantitatively determined amplitude , which suppresses bacterial aggregation. For the Patlak--Keller--Segel system advected by such a flow on , we prove that the solutions remain global in time even for large initial mass, provided the amplitude is sufficiently large. Specifically, global well-posedness holds if satisfies a lower bound of the form . A notable feature of our result is the explicit estimate of the sufficient constant, given by . Furthermore, for the coupled Patlak--Keller--Segel--Navier--Stokes system near the Couette flow, we establish an analogous global existence result, provided the amplitude is sufficiently large in form of .
