- Abstract
- This paper studies a reaction-diffusion-advection system describing a directed movement of immune cells toward chemokines during the immune process. We investigate the global solvability of the model based on the bootstrap argument for minimal chemotaxis models. We also examine the stability of nonconstant steady states and the existence of periodic orbits from theoretical aspects of bifurcation analysis. Through numerical simulations, we observe the occurrence of steady or time-periodic pattern formations.
