Singularity formation to the 2D Cauchy problem of nonbarotropic magnetohydrodynamic equations without heat conductivity

Abstract

AbstractThe question of whether the two‐dimensional (2D) nonbarotropic compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with zero heat conduction can develop a finite‐time singularity from smooth initial data is a challenging open problem in fluid dynamics and mathematics. Such a problem is interesting in studying global well‐posedness of solutions. In this paper, we proved that, for the initial density allowing vacuum states, the strong solution exists globally if the density and the pressure are bounded from above. Our method relies on weighted energy estimates and a Hardy‐type inequality.
