| In this paper, we consider a Keller-Segel model with a fractional diffusion term in $\mathbb{R}^3$ in the background of a Couette flow. We show that when the background Couette flow is large enough, the dissipation enhancement induced could prevent the blow-up of solutions and thus prove the global existence and also obtain time decay rates of the solution in $L^p$ norm. The main tool of the proof is a corresponding Green`s function and the key estimate is its $L^1$ estimate without singularities at $t=0$. To fulfill such an estimate, we meet great troubles caused by the fractional heat kernel together with the Couette flow in the model considered here and overcome the troubles by introducing a space-frequency mixed decomposition. The main purpose of this paper is to develop a new microlocal analysis technique for researching the Green's functions with variable coefficients and strong singularities, such as the Green's function with shear flows. Obviously, this technique is crucial for capturing the dissipation enhancement mechanism of shear flows in the whole space. |
