Global well-posedness of magnetohydrodynamic equations

Abstract

We study the global well-posedness of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. The hydrodynamic system consists of the Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid velocity coupled with a reduced from of the Maxwell equations for the magnetic field. The fluid velocity is assumed to satisfy a no-slip boundary condition, while the magnetic field is subject to a time-dependent Dirichlet boundary condition. We first establish the global existence of weak and strong solutions to (1.1)-(1.4). Then we derive the existence of a uniform attractor for (1.1)-(1.4).
