We study the Hele-Shaw immiscible displacements when all surfaces tensions on the interfaces are zero. The Saffman-Taylor instability occurs when a less viscous fluid is displacing a more viscous one, in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. We…

The Patlak-Keller-Segel system of equations (PKS) is a classical example of aggregation-diffusion equation in which the repulsive effect of diffusion is in competition with the attractive chemotaxis term. Recent work on the…
