In this work we numerically study the diffusive limit of run & tumble kinetic models for cell motion due to chemotaxis by means of asymptotic preserving schemes. It is well-known that the diffusive limit of these models leads to the…
The Patlak-Keller-Segel equation describes the chemotactic interactions of small organisms in the continuum limit, and a singular peak appears through spontaneous aggregation when the total mass of the organisms exceeds a critical value. To…
