<abstract><p>It was shown that unbounded solutions of the Neumann initial-boundary value problem to the two-dimensional Keller–Segel system can be induced by initial data having large negative energy if the total mass $ \Lambda \in (4\pi, \infty)\setminus 4\pi \cdot \mathbb{N} $ and an example of such an initial datum was given for some transformed system and its associated energy in Horstmann–Wang (2001). In this work, we provide an alternative construction of nonnegative nonradially symmetric initial data enforcing unbounded solutions to the original Keller–Segel model.</p></abstract>

The stability of an incompressible swept attachment-line boundary layer flow is studied numerically, within the Görtler–Hämmerlin framework, in both the linear and nonlinear two-dimensional regimes in a self-consistent manner. The initial-boundary-value problem resulting from substitution of small-amplitude excitation into the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations and linearization about the generalized Hiemenz profile is solved. A comprehensive comparison of all linear approaches utilized to date is presented and it is demonstrated that the linear initial-boundary-value problem formulation delivers results in excellent agreement with those obtained by solution of either the temporal or the spatial linear stability theory eigenvalue problem for both zero suction and a layer in which blowing is applied. In the latter boundary layer recent experiments have documented the growth of instability waves with frequencies in a range encompassed by that of the unstable Görtler–Hämmerlin linear modes found in our simulations. In order to enable further comparisons with experiment and, thus, assess the validity of the Görtler–Hämmerlin theoretical model, we make available the spatial structure of the eigenfunctions at maximum growth conditions.The condition on smallness of the imposed excitation is subsequently relaxed and the resulting nonlinear initial-boundary-value problem is solved. Extensive numerical experimentation has been performed which has verified theoretical predictions on the way in which the solution is expected to bifurcate from the linear neutral loop. However, it is demonstrated that the two-dimensional model equations considered do not deliver subcritical instability of this flow; this strengthens the conjecture that three-dimensionality is, at least partly, responsible for the observed discrepancy between the linear theory critical Reynolds number and the subcritical turbulence observed either experimentally or in three-dimensional numerical simulations. Further, the present nonlinear computations demonstrate that the unstable flow has its line of maximum amplification in the neighbourhood of the experimentally observed instability waves, in a manner analogous to the Blasius boundary layer. In line with previous eigenvalue problem and direct simulation work, suction is observed to be a powerful stabilization mechanism for naturally occurring instabilities of small amplitude.

An initial–boundary-value problem for the nonlinear equations of real compressible viscous heat-conducting flow with general large initial data is investigated. The main point is to study the real flow for which the pressure and internal energy have nonlinear dependence on temperature, unlike the linear dependence for ideal flow, and the viscosity coefficients and heat conductivity are also functions of density and/or temperature. The shear viscosity is also presented. The existence, uniqueness and regularity of global solutions are established with large initial data in H1. It is shown that there is no shock wave, vacuum, mass concentration, or heat concentration (hot spots) developed in a finite time, although the solutions have large oscillations.
