The current paper establishes the global well-posedness issue for the full viscous MHD equations in the axisymmetric setting. Global solutions are obtained in critical Besov spaces uniformly to the viscosity when the resistivity is fixed in the spirit of \cite{AKH,Hassainia,hz0}. Furthermore, strong convergence in the resolution spaces with a rate of convergence is also studied.
In this paper, we consider the axisymmetric MHD system with nearly critical initial data having the special structure: $u_0=u_0^r e_r+\ut_0 e_θ+u_0^z e_z, ~b_0=b_0^θe_θ.$ We prove that, this system is global well-posed provided the scaling-invariant norms $\|r\ut_0\|_{L^\infty},~\|r^{-1} b^θ_0\|_{L^{\frac32}}$ are sufficiently small.
In this paper, we will show that solutions of the three-dimensional non-resistive and non-diffusive MHD-Boussinesq system are globally regular if the initial data is axisymmetric and the swirl components of the velocity and the magnetic vorticity are zero. Our main result extends previous ones on the three-dimensional non-resistive MHD system and non-diffusive Boussinesq system, and the method used here can also be applied to the magnetic Rayleigh-Bénard convection system.
In this paper, we consider the global well-posedness of the incompressible Hall-MHD equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We prove that the solution of this system is globally regular if the initial data is axisymmetric and the swirl components of the velocity and magnetic vorticity are trivial. It should be pointed out that the initial data without any smallness and in low regularity spaces. This improves a previous result established in \cite{Fan2013}.
The purpose of this paper is to study the incompressible non-resistive MHD equations in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We establish the global well-posedness of classical solutions if the initial data is axially symmetric and the swirl components of the velocity and magnetic vorticity vanish. In particular, the special axially symmetric initial data can be arbitrarily large and satisfy low regularity assumptions.
In this paper, we prove the global well-posedness for the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with zero viscosity and axisymmetric initial data. First, we analyze the problem corresponding to the Sobolev regularities $ H^s\times H^{s-2}$, with $ s>5/2$. Second, we address the same problem but for the Besov critical regularities $ B_{p,1}^{3/p+1}\times B_{1,p}^{3/p-1}$, $2\leq p\leq \infty$. This case turns out to be more subtle as the Beale-Kato-Majda criterion is not known to be valid for rough regularities.
In this paper, we are concerned with the global well-posedness of a tri-dimensional MHD system with only vertical viscosity in velocity equation for the large axisymmetric initial data. By making good use of the axisymmetric structure of flow and the maximal smoothing effect of vertical diffusion, we show that $\displaystyle\sup_{2\leq p<\infty}\int_0^t\frac{\|\partial_{z}u(τ)\|_{L^p}^{2}}{p^{3/4}}\,\mathrm{d}τ<\infty$. With this regularity for the vertical first derivative of velocity vector field, we further establish losing estimates for the anisotropy tri-dimensional MHD system to get the …
We study by a combination of analytical and numerical Evans function techniques multi-D viscous and inviscid stability and associated transverse bifurcation of planar slow Lax MHD shocks in a channel with periodic boundary conditions. Notably, this includes the first multi-D numerical Evans function study for viscous MHD. Our results suggest that, rather than a planar shock, a nonplanar traveling wave with the same normal velocity is the typical mode of propagation in the slow Lax mode. Moreover, viscous and inviscid stability transitions appear to agree, answering (for this particular model a…
Following the recent papers [9] and [10] by T. Gallay and V. uSverák, in the line of work initiated by H. Feng and V. uSverák in their paper [3], we prove the uniqueness of a solution of the axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations without swirl when the initial data is a positive linear combination of Dirac masses.
The contribution of this paper will be focused on the global existence and uniqueness topic in three-dimensional case of the axisymmetric viscous Boussinesq system in critical Lebesgue spaces. We aim at deriving analogous results for the classical two-dimensional and three-dimensional axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equations recently obtained in \cite{Gallay,Gallay-Sverak}. Roughly speaking, we show essentially that if the initial data $(v_0,ρ_0)$ is axisymmetric and $(ω_0,ρ_0)$ belongs to the critical space $L^1(Ω)\times L^1(\mathbb{R}^3)$, with $ω_0$ is the initial vorticity associated to $v_0$ …
We study the long-time behaviour of axisymmetric solutions without swirl for the threedimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the whole space. Assuming that the initial vorticity is sufficiently localised, we compute explicitly the leading terms in the asymptotic expansion of the solution, both for the vorticity and the velocity field. In particular, we identify optimal temporal decay rates depending on the spatial localisation of the initial data. Our approach relies on accurate $L^p$-$L^q$ estimates for the linearised evolution equation and its Taylor expansion in self-similar variables.
In this paper, we study the global existence of classical solutions to the three dimensional incompressible viscous magneto-hydrodynamical system without magnetic diffusion on periodic boxes, i.e., with periodic boundary conditions. We work in Eulerian coordinate and employ a time-weighted energy estimate to prove the global existence result, under the assumptions that the initial magnetic field is close enough to an equilibrium state and the initial data have some symmetries.
The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in R^3 are shown to admit a unique axisymmetric solution without swirl if the initial vorticity is a circular vortex filament with arbitrarily large circulation Reynolds number. The emphasis is on uniqueness, as existence has already been established in [10]. The main difficulty which has to be overcome is that the nonlinear regime for such flows is outside of applicability of standard perturbation theory, even for short times. The solutions we consider are archetypal examples of viscous vortex rings, and can be thought of as axisymmetric analogues of…
We address the analyticity and large time decay rates for strong solutions of the Hall-MHD equations. By Gevrey estimates, we show that the strong solution with small initial date in $H^r(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with $r>\f 52$ becomes analytic immediately after $t>0$, and the radius of analyticity will grow like $\sqrt{t}$ in time. Upper and lower bounds on the decay of higher order derivatives are also obtained, which extends the previous work by Chae and Schonbek (J. Differential Equations 255 (2013), 3971--3982).
This paper solves the global well-posedness and stability problem on a special $2\frac12$-D compressible viscous non-resistive MHD system near a steady-state solution. The steady-state here consists of a positive constant density and a background magnetic field. The global solution is constructed in $L^p$-based homogeneous Besov spaces, which allow general and highly oscillating initial velocity. The well-posedness problem studied here is extremely challenging due to the lack of the magnetic diffusion, and remains open for the corresponding 3D MHD equations. Our approach exploits the enhanced …
Extending our previous results for artificial viscosity systems, we show, under suitable spectral hypotheses, that shock wave solutions of compressible Navier--Stokes (cNS) and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations undergo Hopf bifurcation to nearby time-periodic solutions. The main new difficulty associated with physical viscosity and the corresponding absence of parabolic smoothing is the need to show that the difference between nonlinear and linearized solution operators is quadratically small in $H^s$ for data in $H^s$. We accomplish this by a novel energy estimate carried out in Lagrangian…
In this paper, we consider a layer of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid interacting with the magnetic filed in a horizontally periodic setting. The upper boundary bounded by a free boundary and below bounded by a flat rigid interface. We prove the global well-posedness of the problem for both the case with and without surface tension. Moreover, we show that the global solution decays to the equilibrium exponentially in the case with surface tension, however the global solution decays to the equilibrium at an almost exponential rate in the case without surface tension.
In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional full compressible viscous non-resistive MHD system. Global well-posedness is proved for an initial-boundary value problem around a strong background magnetic field. It is also shown that the unique solution converges to the steady state at an almost exponential rate as time tends to infinity. The proof is based on the celebrated two-tier energy method, due to Guo and Tice [\emph{Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.}, 207 (2013), pp. 459--531; \emph{Anal. PDE.}, 6 (2013), pp. 287--369], reformulated in Lagrangian coordinates. The obtained result may be view…
In this paper, we address the space-time decay properties for strong solutions to the incompressible viscous resistive Hall-MHD equations. We obtained the same space-time decay rates as those of the heat equation. Based on the temporal decay results in \cite{cs}, we find that one can obtain weighted estimates of the magnetic field $B$ by direct weighted energy estimate, and then by regarding the magnetic convection term as a forcing term in the velocity equations, we can obtain the weighted estimates for the vorticity, which yields the corresponding estimates for the velocity field. The higher…
Extending our previous work in the strictly parabolic case, we show that a linearly unstable Lax-type viscous shock solution of a general quasilinear hyperbolic--parabolic system of conservation laws possesses a translation-invariant center stable manifold within which it is nonlinearly orbitally stable with respect to small $L^1\cap H^3$ perturbations, converging time-asymptotically to a translate of the unperturbed wave. That is, for a shock with $p$ unstable eigenvalues, we establish conditional stability on a codimension-$p$ manifold of initial data, with sharp rates of decay in all $L^p$.…
For the two-dimensional Navier--Stokes equations of isentropic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with $γ$-law gas equation of state, $γ\ge 1$, and infinite electrical resistivity, we carry out a global analysis categorizing all possible viscous shock profiles. Precisely, we show that the phase portrait of the traveling-wave ODE generically consists of either two rest points connected by a viscous Lax profile, or else four rest points, two saddles and two nodes. In the latter configuration, which rest points are connected by profiles depends on the ratio of viscosities, and can involve Lax, overcompre…
We consider a two-dimensional MHD model describing the evolution of viscous, compressible and electrically conducting fluids under the action of vertical magnetic field without resistivity. Existence of global weak solutions is established for any adiabatic exponent γ>1. Inspired by the approximate scheme proposed in [15], we consider a two-level approximate system with artificial diffusion and pressure term. At the first level, we prove global well-posedness of the regularized system and establish uniform-in-εestimates to the regular solutions. At the second level, we show global existence of…
We study systems interpolating between the 3D incompressible Euler and electron--MHD equations, given by \begin{equation*} \partial_t B + V \cdot \nabla B = B\cdot \nabla V, \qquad V = -\nabla\times (-Δ)^{-a} B, \qquad \nabla\cdot B = 0, \end{equation*} where $B$ is a time-dependent vector field in $\mathbb{R}^3$. Under the assumption that the initial data is axi-symmetric without swirl, we prove local well-posedness of Lipschitz continuous solutions and existence of traveling waves in the range $1/2<a<1$. These generalize the corresponding results for the 3D axisymmetric Euler equations and s…
For a general class of hyperbolic-parabolic systems including the compressible Navier-Stokes and compressible MHD equations, we prove existence and stability of noncharacteristic viscous boundary layers for a variety of boundary conditions including classical Navier-Stokes boundary conditions. Our first main result, using the abstract framework established by the authors in the companion work \cite{GMWZ6}, is to show that existence and stability of arbitrary amplitude exact boundary-layer solutions follow from a uniform spectral stability condition on layer profiles that is expressible in term…
In this paper, we mainly investigate the Cauchy problem of the non-viscous MHD equations with magnetic diffusion. We first establish the local well-posedness (existence,~uniqueness and continuous dependence) with initial data $(u_0,b_0)$ in critical Besov spaces $ {B}^{\frac{d}{p}+1}_{p,1}\times{B}^{\frac{d}{p}}_{p,1}$ with $1\leq p\leq\infty$, and give a lifespan $T$ of the solution which depends on the norm of the Littlewood-Paley decomposition of the initial data. Then, we prove the global existence in critical Besov spaces. In particular, the results of global existence also hold in Sobole…
We investigate the equations of anisotropic axisymmetric incompressible viscous fluids in the exterior of a cylinder of $\R^3$, rotating around an inhomogeneous vector $B(t, r)$. We prove uniform local existence with respect to the Rossby number in suitable anisotropic Sobolev spaces. We also obtain the propagation of the isotropic Sobolev regularity.
Global small-time approximate null and Lagrangian controllability of the viscous non-resistive MHD system in a $3D$ domain with Navier type boundary conditions
In this paper we apply classical and recent techniques from quaternionic analysis using parabolic Dirac type operators and related Teodorescu and Cauchy-Bitzadse type operators to set up some analytic representation formulas for the solutions to the time depedendent incompressible viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations on some conformally flat manifolds, such as cylinders and tori associated with different spinor bundles. Also in this context a special variant of hypercomplex Eisenstein series related to the parabolic Dirac operator serve as kernel functions.
This paper concerns the viscous and non-resistive MHD systems which govern the motion of electrically conducting fluids interacting with magnetic fields. We consider an initial-boundary value problem for both compressible and (nonhomogeneous and homogeneous) incompressible fluids in an infinite flat layer. We prove the global well-posedness of the systems around a uniform magnetic field which is vertical to the layer. Moreover, the solution converges to the steady state at an almost exponential rate as time goes to infinity. Our proof relies on a two-tier energy method for the reformulated sys…
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…
This paper is concerned with an initial and boundary value problem of the one-dimensional planar MHD equations for viscous, heat-conducting, compressible, ideal polytropic fluids with constant transport coefficients and large data. The vanishing shear viscosity limit is justified and the convergence rates are obtained. More important, to capture the behavior of the solutions at vanishing shear viscosity, both the boundary-layer thickness and the boundary-layer solution are discussed. As by-products, the global well-posedness of strong solutions with large data is established. The proofs are ba…
We prove the non-uniqueness of weak solutions to 3D hyper viscous and resistive MHD in the class $L^γ_tW^{s,p}_x$, where the exponents $(s,γ,p)$ lie in two supercritical regimes. The result reveals that the scaling-invariant Ladyženskaja-Prodi-Serrin (LPS) condition is the right criterion to detect non-uniqueness, even in the highly viscous and resistive regime beyond the Lions exponent. In particular, for the classical viscous and resistive MHD, the non-uniqueness is sharp near the endpoint $(0,2,\infty)$ of the LPS condition. Moreover, the constructed weak solutions admit the partial regular…
In this paper we show that the incompressible Hall-MHD system without resistivity is not globally in time well-posed in any Sobolev space $H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ for any $m>\frac{7}{2}$. Namely, either the system is locally ill-posed in $H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3)$, or it is locally well-posed, but there exists an initial data in $H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3)$, for which the $H^{m}(\mathbb{R}^3)$ norm of solution blows-up in finite time if $m>7/2$. In the latter case we choose an axisymmetric initial data $u_0(x)=u_{0r}(r,z)e_r+ b_{0z}(r,z)e_z$ and $B_0(x)=b_{0θ}(r,z)e_θ$, and reduce the system to the axisymmet…
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.
We investigate the initial-boundary value problem for one-dimensional compressible, heat-conductive, non-resistive MHD equations of viscous, ideal polytropic fluids in the Lagrangian coordinates. The existence and Lipschitz continuous dependence on the initial data of global weak solutions are established. Uniqueness of weak solutions follows as a direct consequence of stability.
This work concerns the global well-posedness problem for the 3D axisymmetric viscous Boussinesq system with critical rough initial data. More precisely, we aim to extending our recent result \cite{Hanachi-Houamed-Zerguine} to the case of initial data of measure type. To this end, we should first develop some notions of axisymmetric measures in a general context, then, in the spirit of \cite{Gallay-Sverak}, we prove the global wellposedness result provided that the atomic parts of the initial measures are small enough.
This paper is concerned with an initial and boundary value problem of the one-dimensional planar MHD equations for viscous, heat-conducting, compressible, ideal polytropic fluids with constant transport coefficients and large data. The vanishing shear viscosity limit is justified and the convergence rates are obtained. To capture the behavior of the solutions at small shear viscosity, we also discuss the boundary-layer thickness and the boundary-layer solution. As by-products, the global well-posedness of strong solutions with large data is established. The proofs are based on the global (unif…
In this paper, we validate the boundary layer theory for 2D steady viscous incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations in a domain $\{(X, Y)\in[0, L]\times\mathbb{R}_+\}$ under the assumption of a moving boundary at $\{Y=0\}$. The validity of the boundary layer expansion and the convergence rates are established in Sobolev sense. We extend the results for the case with the shear outer ideal MHD flows [3] to the case of the nonshear flows.
It is still open whether the phenomenon of inhibition of Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) instability by a horizontal magnetic field can be mathematically verified for a non-resistive \emph{viscous} magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) fluid in a two-dimensional (2D) horizontal slab domain, since it was roughly proved in the linearized case by Wang in \cite{WYC}. In this paper, we prove such inhibition phenomenon by the (nonlinear) inhomogeneous, incompressible, \emph{viscous case} with \emph{Navier (slip) boundary condition}. More precisely, we show that there is a critical number of field strength $m_{\mm{C}}$, s…
We consider the dynamics of two layers of incompressible electrically conducting fluid interacting with the magnetic field, which are confined within a 3D horizontally infinite slab and separated by a free internal interface. We assume that the upper fluid is heavier than the lower fluid so that the fluids are susceptible to the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. Yet, we show that the viscous and non-resistive problem around the equilibrium is nonlinearly stable provided that the strength of the vertical component of the steady magnetic field, $|\bar B_3|$, is greater than the critical value, $\math…
