We establish new Liouville-type theorems for the two-dimensional stationary magneto-hydrodynamic incompressible system assuming that the velocity and magnetic field have bounded Dirichlet integral. The key tool in our proof is observing that the stream function associated to the magnetic field satisfies a simple drift-diffusion equation for which a maximum principle is available.
We prove in this paper a decay estimate for scaling invariant local energy solutions for some toy-models related to the incompressible Navier-Stokes system.
In this paper, we present two constructions of forward self-similar solutions to the $3$D incompressible Navier-Stokes system, as the singular limit of forward self-similar solutions to certain parabolic systems.
In this paper we consider a parabolic toy-model for the incompressible Navier-Stokes system. This model, as we shall see below, shares a lot of similar features with the incompressible model; among which the energy inequality, the scaling symmetry, and it is also supercritical in $3$D. Our goal is to establish some regularity results for this toy-model in order to get, if possible, better insight to the standard Navier-Stokes system. We also prove here, in a direct manner, a Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg type result for our model. Finally, taking advantage of the absence of the divergence-free constraint, we are able to study this model in the radially symmetric setting for which we are able to establish full regularity.
We prove a local energy identity for a class of distributional solutions, in $L_{2,\infty} \cap W^{1,0}_2$, of parabolic equations with divergence-free drift.
