On the regularity criteria for weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations

We study the regularity criteria for weak solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. Some regularity criteria are obtained for weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, which generalize the results in [C. He, Z. Xin, On the regularity of solutions to the magneto-hydrodynamic equations, J. Differential Equations 213 (2) (2005) 235-254]. Our results reveal that the velocity field of the fluid plays a more dominant role than the magnetic field does on the regularity of solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations.     

On the regularity of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we study the regularity of weak solution to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We obtain some sufficient conditions for regularity of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations, which is similar to that of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Moreover, our results demonstrate that the velocity field of the fluid plays a more dominant role than the magnetic field does on the regularity of solution to the magneto-hydrodynamic equations.     

Remarks on partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity for suitable weak solutions of the tri-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations. With the help of the De Giorgi iteration method, we obtain the results proved by He and Xin (C. He, Z. Xin, Partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations, J. Funct. Anal. 227 (2005) 113–152), namely, the one dimensional parabolic Hausdorff measure of the possible singular points of the velocity field and the magnetic field is zero.

Some regularity criteria for the 3D incompressible magnetohydrodynamics

In this paper, we consider regularity criterion for the three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We present some sufficient integrability conditions on some components of the velocity and magnetic fields for the regularity of the weak solutions.     

The combined inviscid and non-resistive limit for the nonhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with Navier boundary conditions

In this paper, we establish the existence of the global weak solutions for the nonhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with Navier boundary conditions for the velocity field and the magnetic field in a bounded domain ? ? R3. Furthermore,we prove that as the viscosity and resistivity coefficients go to zero simultaneously, these weak solutions converge to the strong one of the ideal nonhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations in energy space.     

Global Regularity for the 2D Magneto-Micropolar Equations with Partial Dissipation

This paper studies the global existence and regularity of classical solutions to the 2D incompressible magneto-micropolar equations with partial dissipation. The magneto-micropolar equations model the motion of electrically conducting micropolar fluids in the presence of a magnetic field. When there is only partial dissipation, the global regularity problem can be quite difficult. We are able to single out three special partial dissipation cases and establish the global regularity for each case. As special consequences, the 2D Navier-Stokes equations, the 2D magnetohydrodynamic equations, and the 2D micropolar equations with several types of partial dissipation always possess global classical solutions. The proofs of our main results rely on anisotropic Sobolev type inequalities and suitable combination and cancellation of terms.     

Partial regularity of suitable weak solutions to the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, we study the local behavior of the solutions to the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations. we are interested in both the uniform gradient estimates for smooth solutions and regularity of weak solutions. It is shown that, in some neighborhood of (x₀,t₀), the gradients of the velocity field u and the magnetic field B are locally uniformly bounded in L^∞ norm as long as that either the scaled local L²-norm of the gradient or the scaled local total energy of the velocity field is small, and the scaled local total energy of the magnetic field is uniformly bounded. These estimates indicate that the velocity field plays a more dominant role than that of the magnetic field in the regularity theory. As an immediately corollary we can derive an estimates of Hausdorff dimension on the possible singular set of a suitable weak solution as in the case of pure fluid. Various partial regularity results are obtained as consequences of our blow-up estimates.     

A regularity criterion for the density‐dependent magnetohydrodynamic equations

In this paper, regularity criterion for the 3‐D density‐dependent magnetohydrodynamic equation is considered. It is proved that the solution keeps smoothness only under an integrable condition on the velocity field in multiplier spaces. Hence, it turns out that the velocity field plays a dominant role in the regularity criteria of the weak solutions to this nonlinear coupling problem even with density.

Interior regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic equations

We present new interior regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic equations in dimension three: a suitable weak solution is regular near an interior point z if the scaled -norm of the velocity with 1?3/p+2/q?2, 1?q?∞ is sufficiently small near z and if the scaled -norm of the magnetic field with 1?3/l+2/m?2, 1?m?∞ is bounded near z. Similar results are also obtained for the vorticity and for the gradient of the vorticity. Furthermore, with the aid of the regularity criteria, we exhibit some regularity conditions involving pressure for weak solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic equations.     

Compactness of weak solutions to the three-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations

The compactness of weak solutions to the magnetohydrodynamic equations for the viscous, compressible, heat conducting fluids is considered in both the three-dimensional space R³ and the three-dimensional periodic domains. The viscosities, the heat conductivity as well as the magnetic coefficient are allowed to depend on the density, and may vanish on the vacuum. This paper provides a different idea from [X. Hu, D. Wang, Global solutions to the three-dimensional full compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows, Comm. Math. Phys. (2008), in press] to show the compactness of solutions of viscous, compressible, heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic flows, derives a new entropy identity, and shows that the limit of a sequence of weak solutions is still a weak solution to the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations.

Global regularity of the 2D magnetohydrodynamic equations with fractional anisotropic dissipation

This paper is dedicated to establishing the global regularity for the two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with fractional anisotropic dissipation when the fractional powers are restricted to some certain ranges. In addition, the global regularity results for the two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with partial dissipation are also obtained. Consequently, these results bring us more closer to the resolution of the global regularity problem on the two dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with standard Laplacian magnetic diffusion.     

On the incompressible limits for the full magnetohydrodynamics flows

In this article the incompressible limits of weak solutions to the governing equations for magnetohydrodynamics flows on both bounded and unbounded domains are established. The governing equations for magnetohydrodynamic flows are expressed by the full Navier-Stokes system for compressible fluids enhanced by forces due to the presence of the magnetic field as well as the gravity and with an additional equation which describes the evolution of the magnetic field. The scaled analogues of the governing equations for magnetohydrodynamic flows involve the Mach number, Froude number and Alfven number. In the case of bounded domains the establishment of the singular limit relies on a detail analysis of the eigenvalues of the acoustic operator, whereas the case of unbounded domains is being treated by their suitable approximation by a family of bounded domains and the derivation of uniform bounds.     

Existence and blow-up of the solutions to the viscous quantum magnetohydrodynamic nematic liquid crystal model

In this paper, we investigate the coupled viscous quantum magnetohydrodynamic equations and nematic liquid crystal equations which describe the motion of the nematic liquid crystals under the magnetic field and the quantum effects in the two-dimensional case. We prove the existence of the global finite energy weak solutions by use of a singular pressure close to vacuum. Then we obtain the local-in-time existence of the smooth solution. In the final, the blow-up of the smooth solutions is studied. The main techniques are Faedo-Galerkin method, compactness theory, Arzela-Ascoli theorem and construction of the functional differential inequality.     

Remarks on the Regularity to 3-D Ideal Magnetohydrodynamic Equations

In this paper we are interested in the sufficient conditions which guarantee the regularity of solutions of 3-D ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations in the arbitrary time interval [0,T]. Five sufficient conditions are given. Our results are motivated by two main ideas: one is to control the accumulation of vorticity alone; the other is to generalize the corresponding geometric conditions of 3-D Euler equations to 3-D ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations.
