Blow-up suppression of the Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via Taylor-Couette flow

Motivated by the use of Taylor-Couette flow in extracorporeal circulation devices [K$\ddot{\rm o}$rfer et al., 2003, 26(4): 331-338], where it leads to an accumulation of platelets and plasma proteins in the vortex center and therefore to a decreased probability of contact between platelets and material surfaces and its protein adsorption per square unit is significantly lower than laminar flow. Increased platelet adhesion or protein adsorption on the device surface can induce platelet aggregation or thrombosis, which is analogous to the ``blow-up phenomenon" in mathematical modeling. Here we mathematically analyze this stability mechanism and demonstrate that sufficiently strong flow can prevent blow-up from occurring. In details, we investigate the two-dimensional Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system in an annular domain around a Taylor-Couette flow $U(r,\theta)=A\big(r+\frac{1}{r} \big)(-\sin\theta, \cos\theta)^{T}$ with $(r,\theta)\in[1,R]\times\mathbb{S}^{1}$, and prove that the solutions are globally bounded without any smallness restriction on the initial cell mass or velocity when $A$ is large.

Global bounded solutions of the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via Couette flow and logistic source

As is well-known, the solutions to the Patlak-Keller-Segel system in 3D may blow up in finite time regardless of any initial cell mass. In this paper, we investigate the existence of global bounded solutions of the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system with a large initial cell mass via Couette flow or logistic source in a finite channel. On the one hand, it is proved that as long as the Couette flow is strong enough and the initial velocity is small, the bounded solutions of the system are global in time without any limitation on the initial mass $M$ if the logistic source term exists. On the other hand, if the logistic source term vanishes, it is proved that as long as the Couette flow is strong enough and the initial velocity is small, the solutions with a finite initial mass $M$, whose lower bound is $ \left(\frac{8\pi}{9}\right)^-$, are global in time.

On the sharp critical mass threshold for the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via Couette flow

As is well-known, the solution of the Patlak-Keller-Segel system in 3D may blow up in finite time regardless of any initial cell mass. In this paper, we are interested in the suppression of blow-up and the critical mass threshold for the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via the Couette flow $(Ay, 0, 0)$. It is proved that if the Couette flow is sufficiently strong ($A$ is large enough), then the solutions for the system are global in time in the periodic domain $(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{T}^{3}$ as long as the initial cell mass is less than $16\pi^{2}$. This result seems to be sharp, since the zero-mode function (the mean value in $x-$direction) of the three dimensional density is a complication of the two-dimensional Keller-Segel equations, whose critical mass in 2D is $8\pi$. One new observation is the dissipative decay of $(\widetilde{u}_{2,0},\widetilde{u}_{3,0})$ (see Lemma 4.3 for more details), then we combine the quasi-linear method proposed by Wei-Zhang (Comm. Pure Appl. Math., 2021) with the zero-mode estimate of the density by the logarithmic Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality as Bedrossian-He (SIAM J. Math. Anal., 2017) or He (Nonlinearity, 2025) to obtain the bounded-ness of the density and the velocity.

Stability threshold of Couette flow for 3D Boussinesq system in Sobolev spaces

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear stability and transition threshold for the 3D Boussinesq system in Sobolev space under the high Reynolds number and small thermal diffusion in $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T} $. It is proved that if the initial velocity $v_{\rm in}$ and the initial temperature $ \theta_{\rm in} $ satisfy $ \|v_{\rm in}-(y,0,0)\|_{H^{2}}\leq \varepsilon\nu, \|\theta_{\rm in}\|_{H^{2}}\leq \varepsilon\nu^{2} $, respectively for some $ \varepsilon>0 $ independent of the Reynolds number or thermal diffusion, then the solutions of 3D Boussinesq system are global in time.

Instability bands for periodic traveling waves in the modified Korteweg-de Vries equation

Two families of periodic traveling waves exist in the focusing mKdV (modified Korteweg-de Vries) equation. Spectral stability of these waveforms with respect to co-periodic perturbations of the same period has been previously explored by using spectral analysis and variational formulation. By using tools of integrability such as a relation between squared eigenfunctions of the Lax pair and eigenfunctions of the linearized stability problem, we revisit the spectral stability of these waveforms with respect to perturbations of arbitrary periods. In agreement with previous works, we find that one family is spectrally stable for all parameter configurations, whereas the other family is spectrally unstable for all parameter configurations. We show that the onset of the co-periodic instability for the latter family changes the instability bands from figure-$8$ (crossing at the imaginary axis) into figure-$\infty$ (crossing at the real axis).

Suppression of blow-up for the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via the Couette flow

As is well known, for the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel system, regardless of whether they are parabolic-elliptic or parabolic-parabolic forms, finite-time blow-up may occur for arbitrarily small values of the initial mass. In this paper, it is proved for the first time that one can prevent the finite-time blow-up when the initial mass is less than a certain critical threshold via the stabilizing effect of the moving Navier-Stokes flows. In details, we investigate the nonlinear stability of the Couette flow $(Ay, 0, 0)$ in the Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system and show that if the Couette flow is sufficiently strong (A is large enough), then the solutions for Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system are global in time provided that the initial velocity is sufficiently small and the initial cell mass is less than $\frac{24}{5} \pi^2$.

Stability of standing periodic waves in the massive Thirring model

We analyze the spectral stability of the standing periodic waves in the massive Thirring model in laboratory coordinates. Since solutions of the linearized MTM equation are related to the squared eigenfunctions of the linear Lax system, the spectral stability of the standing periodic waves can be studied by using their Lax spectrum. Standing periodic waves are classified based on eight eigenvalues which coincide with the endpoints of the spectral bands of the Lax spectrum. Combining analytical and numerical methods, we show that the standing periodic waves are spectrally stable if and only if the eight eigenvalues are located either on the imaginary axis or along the diagonals of the complex plane.

Suppression of blow-up in Patlak-Keller-Segel system coupled with linearized Navier-Stokes equations via the 3D Couette flow

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 fluid. Consider the three-dimensional Patlak-Keller-Segel system coupled with the linearized Navier-Stokes equations near the Couette flow $(\ Ay, 0, 0 \ )$ in a finite channel $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{I}\times\mathbb{T}$ with $ \mathbb{T}=[0,2\pi) $ and $ \mathbb{I}=[-1,1] $, with the non-slip boundary condition, and we show that if the shear flow is sufficiently strong (A is large enough), then the solutions to Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system are global in time as long as the initial cell mass is sufficiently small (for example, $M<\frac49$) and $ A\left(\|u_{2,0}(0)\|_{L^{2}}+\|u_{3,0}(0)\|_{L^{2}} \right)\leq C_{0} $, which seems to be the first result of considering the suppression effect of Couette flow in the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes model, and also the first time considering the non-slip boundary condition.

Suppression of blow-up in the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via non-parallel shear flows

In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional Patlak-Keller-Segel system coupled with the Navier-Stokes equations near the non-parallel shear flow $( Ay, 0, Ay )$ in $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}$. We show that if the shear flow is sufficiently strong (A is large enough), then the solutions to Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system are global in time without any smallness restriction on the initial cell mass as long as the initial velocity satisfies $A^{\frac{2}{3}}\|u_{\rm in}\|_{H^2}\leq C_0$, which seems to be the first result of studying the suppression effect of shear flows for the 3D Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system. Moreover, it implies that the solutions of the 3D Navier-Stokes equations are global in time if the initial velocity satisfies $A^{\frac{2}{3}}\|v_{\rm in}-(Ay,0,Ay)\|_{H^2}\leq C_0,$ which also shows the transition threshold for the shear flow $(Ay,0,Ay)$ in $\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{T}$.

Suppression of blow-up in multi-species Patlak-Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system via the Poiseuille flow in a finite channel

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 $\Omega=\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{I}$ with $ \mathbb{I}=(-1,1)$. Furthermore, the Navier-slip boundary condition is imposed on the perturbation of velocity $u$. We show that if the Poiseuille flow is sufficiently strong ($A$ is large enough), the solutions to the system are global in time without any smallness restriction on the initial cell mass.

Numerical inverse scattering transform for the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger equation

In this paper, we develop the numerical inverse scattering transform (NIST) for solving the derivative nonlinear Schrodinger (DNLS) equation. The key technique involves formulating a Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) that is associated with the initial value problem and solving it numerically. Before solving the RHP, two essential operations need to be carried out. Firstly, high-precision numerical calculations are performed on the scattering data. Secondly, the RHP is deformed using the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method. The DNLS equation has a continuous spectrum consisting of the real and imaginary axes and features three saddle points, which introduces complexity not encountered in previous NIST approaches. In our numerical inverse scattering method, we divide the $(x,t)$-plane into three regions and propose specific deformations for each region. These strategies not only help reduce computational costs but also minimize errors in the calculations. Unlike traditional numerical methods, the NIST does not rely on time-stepping to compute the solution. Instead, it directly solves the associated Riemann-Hilbert problem. This unique characteristic of the NIST eliminates convergence issues typically encountered in other numerical approaches and proves to be more effective, especially for long-time simulations.

Efficient method for calculating the eigenvalue of the Zakharov-Shabat system

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to calculate the eigenvalues of the Zakharov-Shabat system based on Chebyshev polynomials. A mapping in the form of tanh(ax) is constructed according to the asymptotic of the potential function for the Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalue problem. The mapping could distribute Chebyshev nodes very well considering the gradient for the potential function. Using Chebyshev polynomials,tanh(ax) mapping and Chebyshev nodes, the Zakharov-Shabat eigenvalue problem is transformed into a matrix eigenvalue problem, and then solved by the QR algorithm. This method has good convergence for Satsuma-Yajima potential, and the convergence speed is faster than the fourier collocation method. This method is not only suitable for simple potential functions, but also converges quickly for complex Y-shape potential. This method can also be further extended to solve other linear eigenvalue problems.

A deep learning method for solving high-order nonlinear soliton equation

We propose effective scheme of deep learning method for high-order nonlinear soliton equation and compare the activation function for high-order soliton equation. The neural network approximates the solution of the equation under the conditions of differential operator, initial condition and boundary condition. We apply this method to high-order nonlinear soliton equation, and verify its efficiency by solving the fourth-order Boussinesq equation and the fifth-order Korteweg de Vries equation. The results show that deep learning method can solve the high-order nonlinear soliton equation and reveal the interaction between solitons.
