We consider a coupled Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that describes the collective motion of cells and fluid flow, where the cells are attracted by a chemical substance and transported by ambient fluid velocity,…
In this paper, we consider the multi-species parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel system coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations near the 2-D Poiseuille flow $(\ A(1-y^2), 0\ )$ in a finite channel $\Omega=\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{I}$…

It is known that in two dimensions the classical Keller-Segel model can lead to cell aggregation. This behavior can be controlled by adding a logistic growth term with quadratic decay. Researchers have tried to find weaker damping…

Consideration is given to the effects of inhomogeneous shear flow (both regular and chaotic) on nematic liquid crystals in a planar geometry. The Landau--de Gennes equation coupled to an externally-prescribed flow field is the basis for the…
We are concerned with the hyperbolic Keller-Segel model with quorum sensing, a model describing the collective cell movement due to chemical signalling with a flux limitation for high cell densities. This is a first order quasilinear…

We consider the parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel (PKS) model of chemotactic aggregation in two space dimensions which describes the aggregation of bacteria under chemo-taxis. When the mass is equal to $8\pi$ and the second moment is…
Chemotaxis phenomena govern the directed movement of micro-organisms in response to chemical stimuli. In this paper, we investigate two Keller--Segel systems of reaction-advection-diffusion equations modeling chemotaxis on thin networks.…
Phoretic self-propulsion is a unique example of force- and torque-free motion on small scales. The classical framework describing the flow field around a particle swimming by self-diffusiophoresis neglects the advection of the solute field…
We investigate density fluctuations in three-dimensional chiral active fluids by using a simple model of helical self-propelled particles. Helical motion is generated by a constant angular velocity (or chiral torque) acting on the…
It is well known that solutions to the Patlak--Keller--Segel system on $\mathbb{R}^2$ blow up in finite time if the initial mass exceeds $8\pi$. In this paper, we investigate the mixing effect induced by a Couette flow $(Ay, 0)$ with a…
We consider a parabolic-ODE-parabolic chemotaxis system with radially symmetric initial data in a two-dimensional disk under the $0$-Neumann boundary condition. Although our system shares similar mathematical structures as the Keller--Segel…
In this paper we consider the parabolic-elliptic Patlak-Keller-Segel models in $\mathbb T^d$ with $d=2,3$ with the additional effect of advection by a large shear flow. Without the shear flow, the model is $L^1$ critical in two dimensions…
It is known that, for the parabolic-elliptic Keller-Segel system with critical porous-medium diffusion in dimension $\RR^d$, $d \ge 3$ (also referred to as the quasilinear Smoluchowski-Poisson equation), there is a critical value of the…
We consider a class of Fokker--Planck equations with linear diffusion and superlinear drift enjoying a formal Wasserstein-like gradient flow structure with convex mobility function. In the drift-dominant regime, the equations have a finite…
