Chemotaxis plays a crucial role in a variety of processes in biology and ecology. In many instances, processes involving chemical attraction take place in fluids. One of the most studied PDE models of chemotaxis is given by Keller-Segel…
In this paper, we show that the Keller-Segel equation equipped with zero Dirichlet Boundary condition and actively coupled to a Stokes-Boussinesq flow is globally well-posed provided that the coupling is sufficiently large. We will in fact…
We study the effect of advection on the aggregation and pattern formation in chemotactic systems described by Keller-Segel type models. The evolution of small perturbations is studied analytically in the linear regime complemented by…
We consider the singular limit of a chemotaxis model of bacterial collective motion recently introduced in arXiv:2009.11048 [math.AP]. The equation models aggregation-diffusion phenomena with advection that is discontinuous and depends…
In this work, we study the Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes equation with low Reynolds number and subject to large buoyancy force. We show that for initial cell density with arbitrarily large mass (i.e. the $L^1$ norm), the solution remains…
We consider the two dimensional parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel model of chemotactic aggregation for radially symmetric initial data. We show the existence of a stable mechanism of singularity formation and obtain a complete…
Consider a class of chemotaxis-fluid model incorporating a volume-filling effect in the sense of Painter and Hillen (Can. Appl. Math. Q. 2002; 10(4): 501-543), which is a supercritical parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system. As shown by…
We present a discrete model of chemotaxis whereby cells responding to a chemoattractant are seen as individual agents whose movement is described through a set of rules that result in a biased random walk. In order to take into account…
In 2004, Dombrowski et al. showed that suspensions of aerobic bacteria often develop flows from the interplay of chemotaxis and buoyancy, which is described as the chemotaxis-Navier-Stokes model, and they observed self-concentration occurs…
It is known that finite-time blow-up in the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel system may occur for arbitrarily small values of the initial mass. It's interesting whether one can prevent the finite-time blow-up via the stabilizing effect of the moving…
An Euler-type hyperbolic-parabolic system of chemotactic aggregation describing the vascular network formation is investigated in the critical regularity setting. For small initial data around a constant equilibrium state, the…
In this paper, we investigate the two-dimensional Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system perturbed around the Poiseuille flow $(Ay^2,0)^{\top}$ and show that the solutions to this system are global in time if the Poiseuille flow is…
We study two types of divergence-free fluid flows on unbounded domains in two and three dimensions -- hyperbolic and shear flows -- and their influence on chemotaxis and combustion. We show that fast spreading by these flows, when they are…
Incompressible fluid advection has been shown to facilitate singularity suppression in various differential equations, often by mixing-enhanced diffusion or by dimension-reduction effects. To aid with the study of such scenarios, we prove a…
To describe the cellular self-aggregation phenomenon, some strongly coupled PDEs named as Keller-Segel (KS) and Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) systems were proposed in 1970s. Since KS and PKS systems possess relatively simple structures but…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for a generalized parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel equation with fractional dissipation and the additional mixing effect of advection by an incompressible flow. Under suitable mixing condition on…
We find a sharp condition on the density-dependent coefficient of damping of a one-dimensional repulsive Euler-Poisson system, which makes it possible to suppress the formation of singularities in the solution of the Cauchy problem with…
We present experimental and theoretical results on formation of quantum vortices in a laser beam propagating in a nonlinear medium. Topological constrains richer than the mere conservation of vorticity impose an elaborate dynamical behavior…
We consider a hyperbolic-parabolic system arising from a chemotaxis model in angiogenesis, which is described by a Keller-Segel equation with singular sensitivity. It is known to allow viscous shocks (so-called traveling waves). We…
In this study, we investigate the behavior of three-dimensional parabolic-parabolic Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) systems in the presence of ambient shear flows. Our findings demonstrate that when the total mass of the cell density is below a…
