Suppression of chemotactic blowup by strong buoyancy in Stokes-Boussinesq flow with cold boundary

Abstract

In this paper, we show that the Keller-Segel equation equipped with zero Dirichlet Boundary condition and actively coupled to a Stokes-Boussinesq flow is globally well-posed provided that the coupling is sufficiently large. We will in fact show that the dynamics is quenched after certain time. In particular, such active coupling is blowup-suppressing in the sense that it enforces global regularity for some initial data leading to a finite-time singularity when the flow is absent.
