Abstract:

Motivated by various biological processes, this talk first briefly introduces five typical chemotaxis models: chemotaxis-growth model, chemotaxis-haptotaxis model, chemotaxis-fluid model with signal consumption, chemotaxis-fluid model with chemical production, and chemotaxis model with indirect signal production.  

Then this talk focuses on addressing a newly proposed Keller-Segel-Navier-Stokes system modeling the phenomenon of broadcast spawning, such as the coral spawning, in which eggs release a chemical that attracts sperm. We study basic mathematical features of such a model for chemotaxis-fluid interaction. More precisely, under some explicit parameter conditions, the boundedness and decay of a classical solution to the corresponding initial-boundary problem is explored in two- and three-dimensional settings.
