Long time behavior of solutions to 3D generalized MHD equations

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we consider the long time behavior of solutions for 3D incompressible MHD equations with fractional Laplacian. Firstly, in a periodic bounded domain, we prove the existence of a global attractor. The analysis reveals a relation between the Laplacian exponent and the regularity of the spaces of velocity and magnetic fields. Finally, in the whole space ℝ 3 {\mathbb{R}^{3}} , we establish the sharp algebraic decay rate of solutions to the generalized MHD system provided that the parameters satisfy α , β ∈ ( 0 , 2 ] {\alpha,\beta\in(0,2]} .
