Efficient Numerical Schemes for a Two-Species Keller-Segel Model and Investigation of Its Blowup Phenomena in 3D

Abstract

We consider in this paper numerical approximation and simulation of a two-species Keller-Segel model. The model enjoys an energy dissipation law, mass conservation and bound or positivity preserving for the population density of two species. We construct a class of very efficient numerical schemes based on the generalized scalar auxiliary variable with relaxation which preserve unconditionally the essential properties of the model at the discrete level. We conduct a sequence of numerical tests to validate the properties of these schemes, and to study the blow-up phenomena of the model in a three-dimensional domain in parabolic-elliptic form and parabolic-parabolic form.
