We consider a model of congestion dynamics with chemotaxis: The density of cells follows a chemical signal it generates, while subject to an incompressibility constraint. The incompressibility constraint results in the formation of patches,…
We formulate a Hele-Shaw type free boundary problem for a tumor growing under the combined effects of pressure forces, cell multiplication and active motion, the latter being the novelty of the present paper. This new ingredient is…
A mathematical model for tissue growth is considered. This model describes the dynamics of the density of cells due to pressure forces and proliferation. It is known that such cell population model converges at the incompressible limit…
We study the incompressible limit of the porous medium equation with a right hand side representing either a source or a sink term, and an injection boundary condition. This model can be seen as a simplified description of non-monotone…
In this paper we study the "stiff pressure limit" of the porous medium equation, where the initial density is a bounded, integrable function with a sufficient decay at infinity. Our particular model, introduced by Perthame-Quiros-Vazquez,…
We study the "stiff pressure limit" of a nonlinear drift-diffusion equation, where the density is constrained to stay below the maximal value one. The challenge lies in the presence of a drift and the consequent lack of monotonicity in…
Autologous chemotaxis, in which cells secrete and detect molecules to determine the direction of fluid flow, is thwarted at high cell density because molecules from other cells interfere with a given cell's signal. Using a minimal model of…
The 2D flow of a foam confined in a Hele-Shaw cell through a contraction is investigated. Its rheological features are quantified using image analysis, with measurements of the elastic stress, rate of plasticity, and velocity. The behavior…
We study a singular limit of the classical parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) model for chemotaxis with non linear diffusion. The main result is the $\Gamma$ convergence of the corresponding energy functional toward the perimeter…
We investigate a generalized Hele-Shaw equation with a source and drift terms where the density is constrained by an upper-bound density constraint that varies in space and time. By using a generalized porous medium equation approximation,…
This paper proposes a model for the growth two interacting populations of cells that do not mix. The dynamics is driven by pressure and cohesion forces on the one hand and proliferation on the other hand. Following earlier works on the…
Models of tumor growth, now commonly used, present several levels of complexity, both in terms of the biomedical ingredients and the mathematical description. The simplest ones contain competition for space using purely fluid mechanical…
We study a chemotaxis-consumption mechanism, in which some chemical signal and cells density interact each other. In order to control the concentration of such a population, sources involving gradient nonlinearities, which introduce a…
This paper reviews (and expands) some recent results on the modeling of aggregation-diffusion phenomena at various scales, focusing on the emergence of collective dynamics as a result of the competition between attractive and repulsive…
The mathematical modeling of tumor growth leads to singular stiff pressure law limits for porous medium equations with a source term. Such asymptotic problems give rise to free boundaries, which, in the absence of active motion, are…
In this paper, we study the tumor growth equation along with various models for the nutrient component, including the \emph{in vitro} model and the \emph{in vivo} model. At the cell density level, the spatial availability of the tumor…
We report new chemoconvective pattern formation phenomena observed in a two-layer system of miscible fluids filling a vertical Hele-Shaw cell. We show both experimentally and theoretically that the concentration-dependent diffusion coupled…
We investigate the large time behavior of an agent based model describing tumor growth. The microscopic model combines short-range repulsion and cell division. As the number of cells increases exponentially in time, the microscopic model is…
A class of exact solutions of Hele-Shaw flows without surface tension in a rotating cell is reported. We show that the interplay between injection and rotation modifies drastically the scenario of formation of finite-time cusp…
Various models of tumor growth are available in the litterature. A first class describes the evolution of the cell number density when considered as a continuous visco-elastic material with growth. A second class, describes the tumor as a…
