Abstract: The incompressible Toner-Tu (ITT) partial differential equations (PDEs) are an important example of a set of active-fluid PDEs. While they share certain properties with the Navier-Stokes equations (NSEs), such as the same scaling invariance, there are also important differences. The NSEs are usually considered in either the decaying or the additively forced cases, whereas the ITT equations have no additive forcing. Instead, they include a linear, activity term $$ ($$ is the velocity field) which pumps energy into the system, but also a negative $$-term which provides a platform for either frozen or statistically steady states. Taken together, these differences make the ITT equations an intriguing candidate for study using a combination of PDE analysis and pseudo-spectral direct numerical simulations (DNSs). In the $d=2$ case, we have established global regularity of solutions, but we have also shown the existence of bounded hierarchies of weighted, time-averaged norms of both higher derivatives and higher moments of the velocity field. Similar bounded hierarchies for Leray-type weak solutions have also been established in the $d=3$ case. We present results for these norms from our DNSs in both $d=2$ and $d=3$, and contrast them with their Navier-Stokes counterparts.
