Global Solutions of the Nernst-Planck-Euler Equations

Abstract

We consider the initial value problem for the Nernst-Planck equations coupled to the incompressible Euler equations in $\mathbb T^2$. We prove global existence of weak solutions for vorticity in $L^p$. We also obtain global existence and uniqueness of smooth solutions. We show that smooth solutions of the Nernst-Planck-Navier-Stokes equations converge to solutions of the Nernst-Planck-Euler equations as viscosity tends to zero. All the results hold for large data.
