contents A class of parabolic-parabolic Keller-Segel systems with degenerate diffusion and volume filling is studied in a bounded domain subject to no-flux boundary conditions. The equations are derived from a multiphase fluid model. The interplay between nonlinear diffusion and density saturation leads to a rich variety of behaviors across different parameter regimes. We establish the existence of global weak solutions, a weak-strong uniqueness result, the exponential convergence to the homogeneous steady state, pattern formation in one spatial dimension, as well as the parabolic-elliptic and vanishing diffusion limits. The analysis relies on a priori estimates derived from suitable entropy functionals. Pattern formation is demonstrated by reducing the system to a first-order equation and conducting a detailed analysis of the resulting nonlinearity. Numerical simulations from a one-dimensional finite-volume scheme illustrate the asymptotic regimes.
