Stability and Sharp Decay Estimates for 3D MHD Equations with Only Vertical Dissipation Near a Background Magnetic Field

This paper is concerned with the stability and large-time behavior of 3D incompressible MHD equations with only vertical dissipation near a background magnetic field. By making full use of the dissipation generated by the background magnetic field, we first establish the global stability of the solutions in $H^3$-norm. Then, the optimal decay rates of the solutions are obtained, which are consistent with the 2D classical heat equation. Moreover, some enhanced decay rates of $(u_1,b_1)$ are also achieved. In other words, the decay estimates of the second or third component of velocity/magnetic field coincide with those of 2D heat kernel, while the first component behaves like the 3D heat kernel. This is mainly due to the divergence-free condition and the anisotropic structure. The results obtained improve the previous ones due to Lin-Wu-Zhu [24,25].

Well-Posedness and Exponential Decay for the Navier-Stokes Equations of Viscous Compressible Heat-Conductive Fluids with Vacuum

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problem of Navier-Stokes equations for compressible viscous heat-conductive fluids with far-field vacuum at infinity in $\R^3$. For less regular data and weaker compatibility condition than those proposed by Cho-Kim \cite{CK2006}, we first prove the existence of local-in-time solutions belonging to a larger class of functions in which the uniqueness can be shown to hold. The local solution is in fact a classical one away from the initial time, provided the initial density is regular. We also establish the global well-posedness of classical solutions with large oscillations and vacuum in the case when the initial total energy is suitably small. The exponential decay estimates of the global solutions are obtained.
