In this paper we study the global regularity of the following 2D (two-dimensional) generalized magnetohydrodynamic equations \begin{eqnarray*}
\left\{\begin{array}{llll} u_t + u \cdot \nabla u & = & - \nabla p + b \cdot \nabla b - ν(-\triangle)^α u b_t + u \cdot \nabla b & = & b \cdot \nabla u - κ(-\triangle)^β b
\end{array}\right. \end{eqnarray*} and get global regular solutions when $ 0\leqslantα< 1 / 2,\,\, β\geqslant 1, \,\,3α+ 2β>3 $, which improves the results in \cite{TYZ2013}. In particular, we obtain the global regularity of the 2D generalized MHD when $α=0$ and $β>\frac 32$.
We establish a regularity criterion for the 3D full compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with zero heat conductivity and vacuum in a bounded domain.
We study the regularity of weak solutions to the 3D valued stationary Hall magnetohydrodynamic equations on $ \Bbb R^2$. We prove that every weak solution is smooth. Furthermore, we prove a Liouville type theorem for the Hall equations.
In this brief note we study the $n$-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations with hyper-viscosity and zero resistivity. We prove global regularity of solutions when the hyper-viscosity is sufficiently strong.
We study partial regularity of weak solutions of the 3D valued non-stationary Hall magnetohydrodynamics equations on $ \Bbb R^2$. In particular we prove the existence of a weak solution whose set of possible singularities has the space-time Hausdorff dimension at most two.
We study partial regularity of suitable weak solutions of the steady Hall magnetohydrodynamics equations in a domain $Ω\subset \Bbb R^3$. In particular we prove that the set of possible singularities of the suitable weak solution has Hausdorff dimension at most one. Moreover, in the case $Ω=\Bbb R^3$, we show that the set of possible singularities is compact.
We discover cancellations upon $H^{2}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-estimate of the Hall term for $n \in \{2,3\}$. As its consequence, first, we derive a regularity criterion for the 3-dimensional Hall-magnetohydrodynamics system in terms of only horizontal components of velocity and magnetic fields. Second, we prove the global regularity of the $2\frac{1}{2}$-dimensional electron magnetohydrodynamics system with magnetic diffusion $(-Δ)^{\frac{3}{2}} (b_{1}, b_{2}, 0) + (-Δ)^α (0, 0, b_{3})$ for $α> \frac{1}{2}$. Lastly, we extend this result to the $2\frac{1}{2}$-dimensional Hall-magnetohydrodynamics sys…
We present some new regularity criteria for suitable weak solutions of magnetohydrodynamic equations near boundary in dimension three. We prove that suitable weak solutions are Hölder continuous near boundary provided that either the scaled $L^{p,q}_{x,t}$-norm of the velocity with $3/p+2/q\le 2$, $2<q<\infty$, or the scaled $L^{p,q}_{x,t}$-norm of the vorticity with $3/p+2/q\le 3$, $2<q<\infty$ are sufficiently small near the boundary.
We study the two-dimensional generalized magnetohydrodynamics system with dissipation and diffusion in terms of fractional Laplacians. In particular, we show that in case the diffusion term has the power $β= 1$, in contrast to the previous result of $α\geq \frac{1}{2}$, we show that $α> \frac{1}{3}$ suffices in order for the solution pair to remain smooth for all time.
We study the two-dimensional generalized magnetohydrodynamics system with generalized dissipation and diffusion in terms of fractional Laplacians. It is known that the classical magnetohydrodynamics system with full Laplacians in both dissipation and diffusion terms admits a unique global strong solution pair. Making use of the special structure of the system in the two-dimensional case, we show in particular that the solution pair remains smooth when we have zero dissipation but only magnetic diffusion with its power of the fractional Laplacian $β> \frac{3}{2}$.
We consider the electron magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with static background ion flow. A special situation of $B(x,y,t)=\nabla\times (a\vec e_z)+b \vec e_z$ with scalar-valued functions $a(x,y,t)$ and $b(x,y,t)$ was studied numerically in the physics paper [7]. The authors concluded from numerical simulations that there is no evidence of dissipation cutoff for the electron MHD. In this paper we show the existence of determining wavenumber for the electron MHD, and establish a regularity condition only on the low modes of the solution. Our results suggest that the conclusion of the physics paper …
We are concerned with the uniform regularity estimates of solutions to the two dimensional compressible non-resistive magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with the no-slip boundary condition on velocity in the half plane. Under the assumption that the initial magnetic field is transverse to the boundary, the uniform conormal energy estimates are established for the solutions to compressible MHD equations with respect to small viscosity coefficients. As a direct consequence, we proved the inviscid limit of solutions from viscous MHD systems to the ideal MHD systems in $L^\infty$ sense. It shows…
In this paper, we are concerned with the two-dimensional (2D) incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with velocity dissipation given by $(-Δ)^α$ and magnetic diffusion given by reducing about logarithmic diffusion from standard Laplacian diffusion. More precisely, we establish the global regularity of solutions to the system as long as the power $α$ is a positive constant. In addition, we prove several global \emph{a priori} bounds for the case $α=0$. In particular, our results significantly improve previous works and take us one step closer to a complete resolution of the global r…
We consider the three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a bounded domain with small volume and free moving surface boundary. We establish a priori estimate for solutions with minimal regularity assumptions on the initial data in Lagrangian coordinates. In particular, due to the lack of the Cauchy invariance for MHD equations, the smallness assumption on the fluid domain is required to compensate a loss of control of the flow map. Moreover, we show that the magnetic field has certain regularizing effect which allows us to control the vorticity of the fluid and t…
Whether or not the solution to the $2\frac{1}{2}$-dimensional Hall-magnetohydrodynamics system starting from smooth initial data preserves its regularity for all time remains a challenging open problem. Although the research direction on component reduction of regularity criterion for Navier-Stokes equations and magnetohydrodynamics system have caught much attention recently, the Hall term has presented much difficulty. In this manuscript we discover a certain cancellation within the Hall term and obtain various new regularity criterion: first, in terms of a gradient of only the third componen…
In this paper, we are concerned with the partial regularity of the suitable weak solutions to the fractional MHD equations in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ for $n=2,\,3$. In comparison with the work of the 3D fractional Navier-Stokes equations obtained by Tang and Yu in [24, Commun. Math. Phys. 334: 1455--1482, 2015], our results include their endpoint case $α=3/4$ and the external force belongs to more general parabolic Morrey space. Moreover, we prove some interior regularity criteria just via the scaled mixed norm of the velocity for the suitable weak solutions to the fractional MHD equations.
The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problem is most often studied in a framework where Dirichlet type boundary conditions on the velocity field is imposed. In this Note, we study the (MHD) system with pressure boundary condition, together with zero tangential trace for the velocity and the magnetic field. In a three-dimensional bounded possibly multiply connected domain, we first prove the existence of weak solutions in the Hilbert case, and later, the regularity in $W^{1,p}(Ω)$ for $p\geq 2$ and in $W^{2,p}(Ω)$ for $p\geq 6/5$ using the regularity results for some Stokes and elliptic problems with…
We address the compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and establish a blow-up criterion for the local strong solutions in terms of the density only. Namely, if the density is away from vacuum ($ρ= 0$) and the concentration of mass ($ρ=\infty$), then a local strong solution can be continued globally in time. The results generalise and strengthen the previous ones in the sense that there is no magnetic field present in the criterion and the assumption on the pressure is significantly relaxed. The proof is based on some new a priori estimates for three-dimensional com…
This paper examines the global (in time) regularity of classical solutions to the 2D incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with only magnetic diffusion. Here the magnetic diffusion is given by the fractional Laplacian operator $(-Δ)^β$. We establish the global regularity for the case when $β>1$. This result significantly improves previous work which requires $β>\frac32$ and brings us closer to the resolution of the well-known global regularity problem on the 2D MHD equations with standard Laplacian magnetic diffusion, namely the case when $β=1$.
The global regularity for the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations (MHD) in three dimensions is a long standing open problem of fluid dynamics and PDE theory. The Navier-Stokes equations can be viewed as a special case of MHD with a constant magnetic field, whose global regularity problem is known as a Clay Millennium Prize Problem. In this article, we prove the global regularity of axially symmetric solutions to the ideal MHD in three dimensions for a family of non-trivial magnetic fields. The proofs are based on the special structures of MHD and can of course also applied to the resi…
In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem of the two-dimensional regularized incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations. The main objective of this paper is to establish the global regularity of classical solutions of the magnetohydrodynamics equations with the minimal dissipation. Consequently, our results significantly improve the previous works.
We are concerned with the uniform regularity estimates and vanishing viscosity limit of solution to two dimensional viscous compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with transverse background magnetic field. When the magnetic field is assumed to be transverse to the boundary and the tangential component of magnetic field satisfies zero Neumann boundary condition, even though the velocity is imposed the no-slip boundary condition, the uniform regularity estimates of solution and its derivatives still can be achieved in suitable conormal Sobolev spaces in the half plane $\mathbb{R}^2_+$…
In this article we study the global regularity of 2D generalized magnetohydrodynamic equations (2D GMHD), in which the dissipation terms are $- ν(- \triangle)^α u$ and $- κ(-\triangle)^β b$. We show that smooth solutions are global in the following three cases: $α\geqslant 1 / 2, β\geqslant 1$; $0 \leqslant α< 1 / 2, 2 α+ β> 2$; $α\geqslant 2, β= 0$. We also show that in the inviscid case $ν= 0$, if $β> 1$, then smooth solutions are global as long as the direction of the magnetic field remains smooth enough.
We investigate the existence and uniqueness issues of the 3D incompressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic system supplemented with initial velocity $u_0$ and magnetic field $B_0$ in critical regularity spaces.In the case where $u_0,$ $B_0$ and the current $J_0:=\nabla\times B_0$ belong to the homogeneous Besov space $\dot B^{\frac 3p-1}_{p,1},$ $\:1\leq p<\infty,$ and are small enough, we establish a global result and the conservation of higher regularity.If the viscosity is equal to the magnetic resistivity, then we obtain the global well-posedness provided $u_0,$ $B_0$ and $J_0$ are small enough …
In this paper, we consider the motion of incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with resistivity in a domain bounded by a free surface. The free boundary problem for MHD is an important problem not only for mathematical fluid dynamics but also some application to the field of engineering In fact, when a thermonuclear reaction is caused artificially, a high-temperature plasma is sometimes subjected to a magnetic field and held in the air, and the boundary of the fluid at this time is a free one. In this paper, an electromagnetic field generated by some currents in an external domain keeps an…
We consider the three-dimensional incompressible free-boundary magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a bounded domain with surface tension on the boundary. We establish a priori estimate for solutions in the Lagrangian coordinates with $H^{3.5}$ regularity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result focusing on the incompressible ideal free-boundary MHD equations with surface tension. It is worth pointing out that the $1/2$-extra spatial regularity for the flow map $η$ is no longer required in this manuscript thanks to the presence of the surface tension on the boundary.
Global weak solutions with higher regularity to the two-dimensional isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes and magnetohydrodynamic equations with far-field vacuum and unbounded density
School of Mathematics and Statistics, Southwest University（西南大学数学与统计学院）
We are concerned with the 3D incompressible Hall-magnetohydro-dynamic system (Hall-MHD). Our first aim is to provide the reader with an elementary proof of a global well-posedness result for small data with critical Sobolev regularity, in the spirit of Fujita-Kato's theorem [10] for the Navier-Stokes equations. Next, we investigate the long-time asymptotics of global solutions of the Hall-MHD system that are in the Fujita-Kato regularity class. A weak-strong uniqueness statement is also proven. Finally, we consider the so-called 2 1/2 D flows for the Hall-MHD system, and prove the global exist…
In this paper we consider three-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations. By using interpolation inequalities in anisotropic Lebesgue space, we provide regularity criteria involving the velocity or alternatively involving the fractional derivative of velocity in one direction, which generalize some known results.
We consider the evolutionary MHD systems, and study the the regularity and vanishing viscosity limit of the 3-D viscous system in a class of bounded domains with a slip boundary condition. We derive the convergence is in H^{2k+1}, for k>0, if the initial date holds some sufficient conditions.
In this paper, similar to the incompressible Euler equation, we prove the propagation of the Gevrey regularity of solutions to the three-dimensional incompressible ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. We also obtain an uniform estimate of Gevery radius for the solution of MHD equation.

We prove the global regularity of the solution pair to the N-dimensional logarithmically supercritical magnetohydrodynamics system with zero diffusivity. This is the endpoint case omitted in the work of [24]; it also improves some previous results logarithmically.
This paper is concerned with the global regularity of the 2D (two-dimensional) generalized magnetohydrodynamic equations with only magnetic diffusion $Λ^{2β} b$. It is proved that when $β>1 $ there exists a unique global regular solution for this equations. The obtained result improves the previous known one which requires that $β>\frac32$.
We study the Serrin-type regularity criteria for the solutions to the four-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and magnetohydrodynamics system. We show that the sufficient condition for the solution to the four-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations to preserve its initial regularity for all time may be reduced from a bound on the four-dimensional velocity vector field to any two of its four components, from a bound on the gradient of the velocity vector field to the gradient of any two of its four components, from a gradient of the pressure scalar field to any two of its partial derivatives. Res…
In this paper, we prove the energy conservation for the weak solutions to the three-dimensional equations of compressible magnetohydrodynamic flows (MHD) under certain conditions only about density and velocity. This work is inspired by the seminal work by Yu [27] on the energy conservation of compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Our result indicates that even the magnetic field is taken into account, we only need some regularity conditions of the density and velocity as in [27] to ensure the energy conservation.
We investigate the zero kinematic viscosity-magnetic diffusion limit of the incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations with Navier boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We obtain the uniform regularity of solutions with respect to the kinematic viscosity coefficient and the magnetic diffusivity coefficient. These solutions are uniformly bounded in a conormal Sobolev space and $W^{1,\infty}(Ω)$ which allow us to take the zero kinematic viscosity-magnetic diffusion limit. Moreover, we also get the rates of convergence.
We study the long time asymptotic behavior of the inviscid magnetohydrodynamic equations with magnetic dissipation near a combination of Couette flow and a constant magnetic field. Here we show that there exist nearby explicit global in time low frequency solutions, which we call waves. Moreover, the linearized problem around these waves exhibits resonances under high frequency perturbations, called echoes, which result in norm inflation Gevrey regularity and infinite time blow-up in Sobolev regularity.
We construct a monotone quantity for the classical obstacle problem with non-smooth obstacle, and show that the blow-ups are homogeneous functions of degree $α<2$.
We prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions of the three dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations. We first obtain the existence of weak solutions with small $L^2$-norm which may display codimension-one discontinuities in density, pressure, magnetic field and velocity gradient. The weak solutions we consider here exhibit just enough regularity and structure which allow us to develop uniqueness and continuous dependence theory for the compressible MHD equations. Our results generalise and extend those for the intermediate weak solutions of compressible Navier-St…
In this note, we study the random data problem for incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in Euclidean space with arbitrary regularity, using the randomization introduced in \cite{Shen-Soffer-Wu-2021-1}.
Motivated by an equation arising in magnetohydrodynamics, we prove that Holder continuous weak solutions of a nonlinear parabolic equation with singular drift velocity are classical solutions. The result is proved using the space-time Besov spaces introduced by Chemin and Lerner, combined with energy estimates, without any minimality assumption on the Holder exponent of the weak solutions.
The ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations are, roughly speaking, a quasi-linear symmetric hyperbolic system of PDEs, but not all the unknowns play the same role in this system. Indeed, in the regime of small magnetic fields, the equations are close to the incompressible Euler equations. In the present paper, we adopt this point of view to study questions linked with the lifespan of strong solutions to the ideal magnetohydrodynamic equations. First of all, we prove a continuation criterion in terms of the velocity field only. Secondly, we refine the explicit lower bound for the lifespan of $2$-D …
The aim of the paper is to investigate on some questions of local regularity of a suitable weak solution to the Navier-Stokes Cauchy problem. The results are obtained in the wake of the ones, well known, by Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg.
We show that if v is an axially symmetric suitable weak solution to the Navier Stokes equations (in the sense of L. Caffarelli, R. Kohn & L. Nirenberg) such that the radial component of v has a higher regularity (i.e. satisfies weighted Serrin-Prodi type condition), then all components of v are regular.
An alternative proof of low regularity well-posedness for the Chern-Simons-Dirac system in Coulomb gauge is given which completely avoids the use of any null structure similarly to a recent result of Bournaveas-Candy-Machihara. An unconditional uniqueness result is also given.
We are concerned with the study of the Cauchy problem to the 3D compressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamic system. We first establish the unique global solvability of strong solutions to the system when the initial data are close to a stable equilibrium state in critical Besov spaces. Furthermore, under a suitable additional condition involving only the low frequencies of the data and in $L^{2}$-critical regularity framework, we exhibit the optimal time decay rates for the constructed global solutions. The proof relies on an application of Fourier analysis to a mixed parabolic-hyperbolic system, an…
In this note, a new local regularity criteria for the axisymmetric solutions to the 3D Navier--Stokes equations is investigated. It is slightly supercritical and implies an upper bound for the oscillation of $Γ=r u^θ$: for any $0< τ<1$, there exists a constant $c>0$, $$ |Γ(r,x_{3},t)|\leq N e^{-c\, |\ln r|^τ},\ 0<r\leq \frac{1}{4}. $$
We study the regularity criteria of the three dimensional generalized MHD and Navier-Stokes systems. In particular, we show that the regularity criteria of the generalized MHD system may be reduced to depend only on two diagonal entries of the Jacobian matrix of the velocity vector field or one vorticity component and one entry of the Jacobian matrix of the velocity vector field.
We study a singular or degenerate equation in non-divergence form modeled by the $p$-Laplacian, $$-|Du|^γ\left(Δu+(p-2)Δ_\infty^N u\right)=f\ \ \ \ \text{in}\ \ \ Ω.$$ We investigate local $C^{1,α}$ regularity of viscosity solutions in the full range $γ>-1$ and $p>1$, and provide local $W^{2,2}$ estimates in the restricted cases where $p$ is close to 2 and $γ$ is close to 0.
In this note we prove an end-point regularity result on the Lp integrability of the second derivatives of solutions to non-divergence form uniformly elliptic equations whose second derivatives are a priori only known to be integrable. The main assumption on the elliptic operator is the Dini continuity of the coefficients. We provide a counterexample showing that the Dini condition is somehow optimal. We also give a counterexample related to the BMO regularity of second derivatives of solutions to elliptic equations.
In this paper, we investigate the global regularity of 2D generalized MHD equations, in which the dissipation term and magnetic diffusion term are $ν(-Δ)^αu$ and $η(-Δ)^βb$ respectively. Let $(u_{0}, b_{0})\in H^{s}$ with $s\geq2$, it is showed that the smooth solution $(u(x,t),b(x,t))$ is globally regular for the case $ 0\leqα\leq\{1}{2}, α+β> \{3}{2}$.
The goal of this paper is twofold. First, we give a simple proof that sufficiently sparse Navier--Stokes solutions do not develop singularities. This provides an alternative to the approach of \cite{Grujic2013}, which is based on analyticity and the `harmonic measure maximum principle'. Second, we analyze the claims in \cite{algebraicreduction,grujic2019asymptotic} that \emph{a priori} estimates on the sparseness of the vorticity and higher velocity derivatives reduce the 'scaling gap' in the regularity problem.
