Global weak solutions of 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations subject to large external potential forces with discontinuous initial data and vacuum
We investigate the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations subject to large external potential forces with discontinuous initial data in a three-dimensional bounded domain under Navier-slip boundary conditions. We show the global existence of weak solutions for such an initial-boundary value problem provided the initial energy is suitably small. In particular, the initial data may contain vacuum states and possibly exhibit large oscillations. To overcome difficulties brought by boundary and large external forces, some new estimates based on the effective viscous flux play crucial roles.
