Convection-Induced Singularity Suppression in the Keller-Segel and other Non-Linear PDEs Gautam Iyer Xiaoqian Xu Andrej Zlatos As an application, we show that blow-up in the Keller-Segel model of chemotaxis can always be prevented if the velocity field of the ambient fluid has a sufficiently small dissipation time. We also study reaction-diffusion equations with ignition-type nonlinearities, and show that the reaction can always be quenched by the addition of a convective term with a small enough dissipation time, provided the average initial temperature is initially below the ignition threshold.
