Global well-posedness and large time behavior of 3D incompressible inhomogeneous magnetohydrodynamic equations in the exterior of a cylinder

When the vaccum is allowed, if the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions to three dimensional incompressible inhomogeneous magnetohydrodynamic equations holds true or not has always been a challenging open problem, even for the magnetofluids with special structures. In this paper, through deeply exploring the internal structure and characteristic of axisymmetric flows, we obtain some new discoveries and give a partial answer to above issue. More precisely, we prove that the axisymmetric magnetofluids flowing in the exterior of a cylinder will definitely admits a unique strong solution that exists globally in time without any compatibility conditions and small assumptions imposed on the initial data. Furthermore, we establish the algebraic decay rates for the time and spatial derivatives of both velocity and magnetic fields. To the best of our knowledge, this result gives the first unique 3D large solution existing globally in time.

Sharp decay estimates and asymptotic stability for incompressible MHD equations without viscosity or magnetic diffusion

Whether the global existence and uniqueness of strong solutions of $n$-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD for short) equations with only kinematic viscosity or magnetic diffusion holds true or not remains an outstanding open problem. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the case when the magnetic field close to an equilibrium state (the background magnetic field for short). Specifically, when the background magnetic field satisfies the Diophantine condition (see (1.2) for details), Chen, Zhang and Zhou [Sci. China Math. 41 (2022), pp.1-10] first studied the perturbation system and established the decay estimates and stability of its solutions in 3D periodic domain $\mathbb{T}^3$, which was then improved to $H^{(3+2β)r+5+(α+2β)}(\mathbb{T}^2)$ for 2D periodic domain $\mathbb{T}^2$ and any $α>0$, $β>0$ by Zhai [J. Differ. Equ. 374 (2023), pp.267-278]. In this paper, we seek to find the optimal decay estimates and improve the space where the global stability is taking place. Through deeply exploring and fully utilizing the structure of perturbation system, we discover a new dissipative mechanism, which enables us to establish the decay estimates in Sobolev space with much lower regularity. Based on the above discovery, we greatly reduce the initial regularity requirement of aforementioned two works from $H^{4r+7}(\mathbb{T}^3)$ and $H^{(3+2β)r+5+(α+2β)}(\mathbb{T}^2)$ to $H^{(3r+3)^+}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ for $r>n-1$ when $n=3$ and $n=2$ respectively. Additionally, we first present the linear stability result via the method of spectral analysis in this paper. From which, the decay estimates obtained for the nonlinear system can be seen as sharp in the sense that they are in line with those for the linearized system.

Asymptotic stability for $n$-dimensional isentropic compressible MHD equations without magnetic diffusion

Whether the global well-posedness of strong solutions of $n$-dimensional compressible isentropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD for short) equations without magnetic diffusion holds true or not remains an challenging open problem, even for the small initial data. In recent years, stared from the pioneer work by Wu and Wu [Adv. Math. 310 (2017), 759--888], much more attention has been paid to the system when the magnetic field near an equilibrium state (the background magnetic field for short). In particular, when the background magnetic field satisfies the Diophantine condition (see (1.3) for details), Wu and Zhai [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 33 (2023), no. 13, 2629--2656] established the decay estimates and asymptotic stability for smooth solutions of the 3D compressible isentropic MHD system without magnetic diffusion in $H^{4r+7}(\mathbb{T}^3)$ with $r>2$ by exploiting a wave structure. In this paper, a new dissipative mechanism is found out and applied so that we can improve the spaces where the decay estimates and asymptotic stability of solutions are taking place by Wu and Zhai. More precisely, we establish the decay estimates of solutions in $H^{r+1}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ and asymptotic stability result in $H^{\left(3r+3\right)^+}(\mathbb{T}^n)$ for any dimensional periodic domain $\mathbb{T}^n$ with $n\geq 2$ and $r>n-1$. Our results provide an approach for establishing the decay estimates and asymptotic stability in the Sobolev spaces with much lower regularity and uniform dimension, which can be used to study many other related models such as the compressible non-isentropic MHD system without magnetic diffusion and so on.

Initial-boundary value problem for 2D temperature-dependent tropical climate model

It is well known that the tropical climate model is an important model to describe the interaction of large scale flow fields and precipitation in the tropical atmosphere. In this paper, we address the issue of global well-posedness for 2D temperature-dependent tropical climate model in a smooth bounded domain. Through classical energy estimates and De Giorgi-Nash-Moser iteration method, we obtain the global existence and uniqueness of strong solution in classical energy spaces. Compared with Cauchy problem, we establish more delicate a priori estimates with exponential decay rates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result concerning the global well-posedness for the initial-boundary value problem in 2D tropical climate model.

Energy conservation of weak solutions for the incompressible Euler equations via vorticity

Motivated by the works of Cheskidov, Lopes Filho, Nussenzveig Lopes and Shvydkoy in [8, Commun. Math. Phys. 348: 129-143, 2016] and Chen and Yu in [5, J. Math. Pures Appl. 131: 1-16, 2019], we address how the $L^p$ control of vorticity could influence the energy conservation for the incompressible homogeneous and nonhomogeneous Euler equations in this paper. For the homogeneous flow in the periodic domain or whole space, we provide a self-contained proof for the criterion $ω=\text{curl}u\in L^{3}(0,T;L^{\frac{3n}{n+2}}(Ω))\,(n=2,3)$, which generalizes the corresponding result in [8] and can be viewed as in Onsager critical spatio-temporal spaces. Regarding the nonhomogeneous flow, it is shown that the energy is conserved as long as the vorticity lies in the same space as before and $\nabla\sqrtρ$ belongs to $L^{\infty}(0,T;L^{n}(\mathbb{T}^{n}))\,(n=2,3)$, which gives an affirmative answer to a problem proposed by Chen and Yu in [5].

Global existence of weak solutions to the 3D incompressible axisymmetric Euler equations without swirl

In this paper, we mainly investigate the tridimensional incompressible axisymmetric Euler equations without swirl in the whole space. Specifically, we prove the global existence of weak solutions if the swirl component of initial vorticity $w_0^θ$ satisfies that $\frac{w_0^θ}r\in L^1\cap L^p({\Bbb R}^3)$ for some $p>1$. To achieve this goal, we establish the $L_{\rm loc}^{2+α}({\Bbb R}^3)$ estimate of velocity fields for some $α>0$, which is innovative to the best of our knowledge. Our result extends previous work in the literature.

Initial-boundary value problem for 2D micropolar equations without angular viscosity

This paper concerns the initial-boundary value problem to 2D micropolar equations without angular viscosity in a smooth bounded domain. It is shown that such a system admits a unique and global weak solution. The main idea of this paper is to fully exploit the structure of this system and establish high order estimates via introducing an auxiliary field which is at the energy level of one order lower than micro-rotation.

Initial-boundary value problem to 2D Boussinesq equations for MHD convection with stratification effects

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem to 2D magnetohydrodynamics-Boussinesq system with the temperature-dependent viscosity, thermal diffusivity and electrical conductivity. First, we establish the global weak solutions under the minimal initial assumption. Then by imposing higher regularity assumption on the initial data, we obtain the global strong solution with uniqueness. Moreover, the exponential decay estimate of the solution is obtained.

Global well-posedness of three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with partial viscosity under helical symmetry

In this paper, we investigate the global well-posedness of three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with horizontal viscosity under a special symmetric structure: helical symmetry. More precisely, by a revised Ladyzhenskaya-type inequality and utilizing the behavior of helical flow, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of weak and strong solution to the three-dimensional helical flows. Our result reveals that for the issue of global well-posedness of the viscous helical fluids, the horizontal viscosity plays the important role. To some extent, our work can be seen as a generalization of the result by Mahalov-Titi-Leibovich [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 112 (1990), no. 3, 193-222].

On the initial- and boundary-value problem for 2D micropolar equations with only angular velocity dissipation

This paper focuses on the initial- and boundary-value problem for the two-dimensional micropolar equations with only angular velocity dissipation in a smooth bounded domain. The aim here is to establish the global existence and uniqueness of solutions by imposing natural boundary conditions and minimal regularity assumptions on the initial data. Besides, the global solution is shown to possess higher regularity when the initial datum is more regular. To obtain these results, we overcome two main difficulties, one due to the lack of full dissipation and one due to the boundary conditions. In addition to the global regularity problem, we also examine the large-time behavior of solutions and obtain explicit decay rates.

Global well-posedness of 2D nonlinear Boussinesq equations with mixed partial viscosity and thermal diffusivity

In this paper, we discuss with the global well-posedness of 2D anisotropic nonlinear Boussinesq equations with any two positive viscosities and one positive thermal diffusivity. More precisely, for three kinds of viscous combinations, we obtain the global well-posedness without any assumption on the solution. For other three difficult cases, under the minimal regularity assumption, we also derive the unique global solution. To the authors' knowledge, our result is new even for the simplified model.

Boundary Regularity Criteria for the 6D Steady Navier-Stokes and MHD Equations

It is shown in this paper that suitable weak solutions to the 6D steady incompressible Navier-Stokes and MHD equations are Hölder continuous near boundary provided that either $r^{-3}\int_{B_r^+}|u(x)|^3dx$ or $r^{-2}\int_{B_r^+}|\nabla u(x)|^2dx$ is sufficiently small, which implies that the 2D Hausdorff measure of the set of singular points near the boundary is zero. This generalizes recent interior regularity results by Dong-Strain \cite{DS}.
