Abstract:
In this talk we introduce the mathematical models representing the fertilization process of corals and consider the following full model \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \rho_t+u\cdot\nabla\rho=\Delta\rho-\nabla\cdot(\rho S(x,\rho,c)\nabla c)-\rho e, \ e_t+u\cdot\nabla e=\Delta e-\rho e, \ c_t+u\cdot\nabla c=\Delta c-c+e, \ u_t=\Delta u-\nabla P+(\rho+e)\nabla\phi,\quad \nabla\cdot u=0, \end{array}\right. \end{equation*} in a bounded domain $\Omega\in\mathbb R^3$ with zero-flux boundary for $\rho$, $e$, $c$ and no-slip boundary for $u$. The chemotactic sensitivity $S$ is not a scalar function but rather attains values in $\mathbb R^{3\times 3}$, and satisfies $|S(x,\rho,c)|\leq C_S(1+\rho)^{-\alpha}$ with some $C_S>0$ and $\alpha>0$. In this talk, we will show the existence and boundedness of global classical solutions for arbitrarily large initial data under the assumption $\alpha>\frac13$. Moreover, all the solutions are shown to decay to a spatially homogeneous equilibrium exponentially as time goes to infinity.
