Introduction Magnetohydrodynamics MHD concerns the motion of a conducting fluid in an electromag- netic field with a very wide range of applications. The dynamic motion ofthe fluids andthe magnetic field strongly interact each other, and thus, both the hydrodynamic and electrody- namic effects have to be considered. The governing equationsofthe plane magnetohydrody- namic compressible flows have the following form see, e.g., 1–5: ρ t ρu x 0, ρu t ρu 2 p 1 2 |b| 2 x λu x x , ρw t ρuw − b x μw x x , b t ub − w x υb x x , ρe t ρeu x − κθ x x λu 2 x μ w x 2 υ b x 2 − pu x , 1.1 where ρ denotes the density ofthe fluid, u ∈ R the longitudinal velocity, w w 1 ,w 2 ∈ R 2 the transverse velocity, b b 1 ,b 2 ∈ R 2 the transverse magnetic field, θ the temperature, 2 Boundary Value Problems p pρ, θ the pressure, and e eρ, θ the internal energy; λ and μ are the bulk and shear viscosity coefficients, υ is the magnetic viscosity, κ is the h eat conductivity. Notice that the longitudinal magnetic field is a constant which is taken to be identically one in 1.1. Theequations in 1.1 describe the macroscopic behavior ofthemagnetohydrodynamic flow. This is a three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic flow which is uniform in the trans- verse directions. There is a lot of literature on the studies of MHD by many physicists and mathematicians because of its physical importance, complexity, rich phenomena, and mathe- matical challenges, see 1–14 andthe references cited therein. We mention that, when b 0, the system 1.1 reduces to the one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equationsforthe flows between two parallel horizontal plates see, e.g., 15 . In this paper, we focus on a simpler case of 1.1, namely, we consider the magneto- hydrodynamic equationsfor isentropic compressible fluids. Thus, instead oftheequations in 1.1, we will study the following equations: ρ t ρu x 0, 1.2 ρu t ρu 2 p 1 2 |b| 2 x λu x x, 1.3 ρw t ρuw − b x μw x x , 1.4 b t ub − w x υb x x , 1.5 where p Rρ γ with γ ≥ 1 being the adiabatic exponent and R>0 being the gas constant. We will study the initial boundary value problem of 1.2–1.5 in a bounded spatial domain Ω0, 1without loss of generality with the initial-boundary data: ρ, ρu, ρw, bx, 0 ρ 0 ,m 0 , n 0 , b 0 x,x∈ Ω, 1.6 u, w, b| x0,1 0, 1.7 where the initial data ρ 0 ≥ 0,m 0 , n 0 , b 0 satisfy certain compatibility conditions as usual and some additional assumptions below, and m 0 n 0 0 whenever ρ 0 0. Here the boundary conditions in 1.7 mean that the boundary is nonslip and impermeable. The purpose ofthe present paper is to study theglobalexistenceanduniquenessofstrongsolutionsof problem 1.2–1.7. The important point here is that initial vacuum is allowed; that is, the initial density ρ 0 may vanish in an open subset ofthe space-domain Ω0, 1, which evidently makes theexistenceand regularity questions more difficult than the usual case that the initial density ρ 0 has a positive lower bound. Forthe latter case, one can show theglobalexistenceof unique strong solution of this initial boundary value problem in a similar way as that in 3, 9, 14. Thestrongsolutionsofthe Navier-Stokes equationsfor isentropic compressible fluids in the case that initial vacuum is allowed have been studied in 16, 17. In this paper, we will use some ideas developed in 16, 17 and extend their results to the problems 1.2–1.7. However, because ofthe additional nonlinear equationsandthe non- linear terms induced by the magnetic field b, our problem becomes a bit more complicated. Our main result in this paper is given by the following theorem the notations will be defined at the end of this section. Jianwen Zhang 3 Theorem 1.1. Assume that ρ 0 ,m 0 ρ 0 u 0 , n 0 ρ 0 w 0 ,andb 0 satisfy the regularity conditions: ρ 0 ∈H 1 ,ρ 0 ≥ 0, u 0 , w 0 ∈H 1 0 ∩H 2 , b 0 ∈H 1 0 . 1.8 Assume also that the following compatibility conditions hold forthe initial data: λu 0xx − Rρ γ 0 1 2 b 0 2 x ρ 1/2 0 f for some f ∈L 2 Ω, 1.9 μw 0xx b 0x ρ 1/2 0 g for some g ∈L 2 Ω. 1.10 Then there exists a unique globalstrong solution ρ, u, w, b to the initial boundary value problem 1.2–1.7 such that for all T ∈ 0, ∞, ρ ∈L ∞ 0,T; H 1 , u, w ∈L ∞ 0,T; H 1 0 ∩H 2 , b ∈L ∞ 0,T; H 1 0 , ρ t , √ ρu t , √ ρw t ∈L ∞ 0,T; L 2 , u t , w t ∈L 2 0,T; H 1 , b t , b xx ∈L 2 0,T; L 2 . 1.11 Remark 1.2. The compatibility conditions given by 1.9, 1.10 play an important role in the proof ofuniquenessofstrong solutions. Similar conditions were proposed in 16–18 when the authors studied theglobalexistenceanduniquenessofsolutionsofthe Navier-Stokes equa- tions for isentropic compressible fluids. In fact, one also can show theglobalexistenceof weak solutions without uniqueness if the compatibility conditions 1.9, 1.10 are not valid. We will prove theglobalexistenceanduniquenessofstrongsolutions in Sections 3 and 4, respectively, while Section 2 is devoted to the derivation of some a priori estimates. We end this section by introducing some notations which will be used throughout the paper. Let W m,p Ω denote the usual Sobolev space, and W m,2 Ω H m Ω, W 0,p Ω L p Ω. For simplicity, we denote by C the various generic positive constants depending only on the data and T, and use the following abbreviation: L q 0,T; W m,p ≡L q 0,T; W m,p Ω , L p ≡L p Ω, · p ≡· L p Ω . 1.12 2. A priori estimates This section is devoted to the derivation of a priori estimates of ρ, u, w, b. We begin with the observation that the total mass is conserved. Moreover, if we multiply 1.3, 1.4,and1.5 by u, w,andb, respectively, and sum up the resulting equations, we have by using 1.2 that 1 2 ρ u 2 w 2 1 2 b 2 t 1 2 ρu u 2 w 2 u b 2 − w·b x up x λuu x μw·w x υb·b x x − λu 2 x μ w x 2 υ b x 2 . 2.1 Integrating 1.2 and 2.1 over 0,t × Ω, we arrive at our first lemma. 4 Boundary Value Problems Lemma 2.1. For any t ∈ 0,T, one has Ω ρx, tdx Ω ρ 0 xdx ≤ C, Ω Gρ 1 2 ρ u 2 w 2 1 2 b 2 x, tdx t 0 Ω λu 2 x μ w x 2 υ b x 2 x, sdx ds ≤ C, 2.2 where Gρ is the nonnegative function defined by Gρ ⎧ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎩ Rρ γ γ − 1 if γ>1 Rρ ln ρ − ρ 1 if γ 1. 2.3 The next lemma gives us an upper bound ofthe density ρx, t, which is crucial forthe proof of Theorem 1 .1. Lemma 2.2. For any x, t ∈ Q T :Ω× 0,T, ρx, t ≤ C holds. Proof. Notice that 1.3 can be rewritten as ρu t λu x − ρu 2 − p − b 2 2 x . 2.4 Set ψx, t : t 0 λu x − ρu 2 − p − 1 2 b 2 x, sds x 0 m 0 ζdζ, 2.5 from which and 2.4, we find that ψ satisfies ψ x ρu, ψ t λu x − ρu 2 − p − 1 2 b 2 ,ψ| t0 x 0 m 0 ζdζ. 2.6 In view of Lemma 2.1 and 2.6, we have by using Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality that ψ x L ∞ 0,T;L 1 ≤ C, Ω ψx, tdx ≤ C, 2.7 which imply ψ L ∞ 0,T×Ω ≤ ψ x L ∞ 0,T;L 1 Ω ψx, tdx ≤ C. 2.8 Letting D t : ∂ t u∂ x denote the material derivative and choosing F exp ψ/λ,we obtain after a straightforward calculation that D t ρF : ∂ t ρFu∂ x ρF− 1 λ p b 2 2 ρF ≤ 0, 2.9 which, together with 2.8, yields Lemma 2.2 immediately. Jianwen Zhang 5 To be continued, we need the following lemma because ofthe effect of magnetic field b. Lemma 2.3. The magnetic field b satisfies the following estimates: sup 0≤t≤T bt L ∞ b x t L 2 b t L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C, b xx L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C. 2.10 Proof. Multiplying 1.5 by b t and integrating over 0,t × Ω,wehave 1 4 t 0 Ω b t 2 x, sdx ds υ 2 Ω b x 2 x, tdx ≤ υ 2 Ω b 0x 2 xdx t 0 Ω u 2 b x 2 u 2 x b 2 w x 2 x, sdx ds ≤ C 2 t 0 Ω u 2 x x, sdx Ω b x 2 x, sdx ds, 2.11 where we have used Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality, Lemma 2.1, andthe following inequalities: max x∈Ω u 2 ·,s ≤ u x s 2 L 2 , max x∈Ω b·,s 2 ≤ b x s 2 L 2 . 2.12 Since u x L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C because of Lemma 2.1, we thus obtain the first inequality indi- cated in this lemma from 2.11 by applying Gronwall’s lemma and then Sobolev’s inequality. To prove the second part, we multiply 1.5 by b xx and integrate the resulting equation over 0,T × Ω to deduce that T 0 Ω b xx 2 x, tdx dt ≤ C T 0 Ω b t 2 w x 2 u 2 x b 2 u 2 b x 2 x, tdx dt ≤ C C sup t∈0,T bt 2 L ∞ T 0 u x t 2 L 2 dt C T 0 u x t 2 L 2 b x t 2 L 2 dt ≤ C C sup t∈0,T bt 2 L ∞ b x t 2 L 2 T 0 u x t 2 L 2 dt ≤ C, 2.13 where we have used Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality, Sobolev’s inequality 2.12, Lemma 2.1,and the first part ofthe lemma. This completes the proof of Lemma 2.3. Lemma 2.4. The following estimates hold forthe velocity u, w: sup 0≤t≤T ut L ∞ u x t L 2 √ ρu t L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C, sup 0≤t≤T wt L ∞ w x t L 2 √ ρw t L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C. 2.14 6 Boundary Value Problems Proof. Multiplying 1.3 by u t and then integrating over Ω, by Young’s inequality we obtain λ 2 d dt Ω u 2 x dx 1 2 Ω ρu 2 t dx ≤ 1 2 Ω ρu 2 u 2 x dx Ω pu tx dx dt 1 2 Ω |b| 2 u xt dx. 2.15 It follows from 1.2 and 1.3 that Ω pu tx dx d dt Ω pu x dx − R 2λ d dt Ω ρ γ1 u 2 dx − Rγ − 2 2λ Ω ρ γ1 u 2 u x dx 1 2λ Ω p 2 u x dx − 1 λ Ω pu ρuu x b·b x dx γ − 1 Ω pu 2 x dx, 1 2 Ω |b| 2 u xt dx 1 2 d dt Ω |b| 2 u x dx − Ω b·b t u x dx. 2.16 Thus, inserting 2.16 into 2.15, and integrating over 0,t, we see that Ω u 2 x x, tdx t 0 Ω ρu 2 t dx ds ≤ C C Ω p u x ρ γ1 u 2 |b| 2 u x x, tdx C t 0 Ω ρu 2 u 2 x ρ γ1 u 2 u x p 2 u x pub·b x pu 2 x b·b t u x dx ds, 2.17 where the terms on the right-hand side can be bounded by using Lemmas 2.1–2.3 as follows: Ω p u x ρ γ1 u 2 |b| 2 u x tdx ≤ Cδδ Ω u 2 x tdx, δ > 0, 2.18 t 0 Ω ρu 2 u 2 x ρ γ1 u 2 u x p 2 u x pu 2 x dx ds ≤ C C t 0 max x∈Ω u 2 ·,s u x s 2 L 2 ds ≤ C C t 0 u x s 4 L 2 ds, 2.19 t 0 Ω pub·b x b·b t u x dx ds ≤ C t 0 Ω ρu 2 b x 2 b t 2 u 2 x dx dt ≤ C. 2.20 Therefore, taking δ appropriately small, we conclude from 2.17–2.20 that Ω u 2 x tdx t 0 Ω ρu 2 t dx ds ≤ C C t 0 u x s 4 L 2 ds, 2.21 where, combined with the fact that u x L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C due to Lemma 2.1, we obtain the first part of Lemma 2.4 by applying Gronwall’s lemma and then Sobolev’s inequality. Similarly, multiplying 1.4 by w t and integrating the resulting equation over Ω,wegetthat μ 2 d dt Ω w x 2 dx 1 2 Ω ρ w t 2 dx ≤ Ω 1 2 ρu 2 w x 2 b t ·w x dx − d dt Ω b·w x dx, 2.22 Jianwen Zhang 7 where we have also used Cauchy-Schwarz’s inequality. Integration of 2.22 over 0,t gives Ω w x x, t 2 dx t 0 Ω ρ w t 2 dx ds ≤ C 1 2 Ω w x x, t 2 dx C t 0 Ω b t 2 w x 2 dx ds ≤ C 1 2 Ω w x x, t 2 dx, 2.23 where Lemmas 2.1–2.3 andthe first conclusion of this lemma have been used. Therefore, from the above inequality we obtain the second part, and so Lemma 2.4 is proved. Notice that 1.3, 1.4 can be written as follows: ρu t ρuu x G x ,ρw t ρuw x K x , 2.24 where G : λu x − p −|b| 2 /2andK : μw x b. Thus, by Lemmas 2.1–2.4, we see that G, K L ∞ 0,T;L 2 G x , K x L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C, 2.25 which immediately implies T 0 u x t 2 L ∞ dt ≤ C T 0 G 2 L ∞ p 2 L ∞ b 4 L ∞ tdt ≤ C T 0 G 2 L 2 G x 2 L 2 p 2 L ∞ b 4 L ∞ tdt ≤ C, T 0 w x t 2 L ∞ dt ≤ C T 0 K 2 L ∞ b 2 L ∞ tdt ≤ C T 0 K 2 L 2 K x 2 L 2 b 2 L ∞ tdt ≤ C. 2.26 Hence, we have the following lemma. Lemma 2.5. There exists a positive constant C, such that T 0 u x t 2 L ∞ G x t 2 L 2 dt ≤ C, T 0 w x t 2 L ∞ K x t 2 L 2 dt ≤ C, 2.27 where G : λu x − p −|b| 2 /2 and K : μw x b. To prove theuniquenessofstrong solutions, we still need the following estimates. Lemma 2.6. The pressure pρRρ γ satisfies sup 0≤t≤T p x ·,t L 2 ≤ C. Furthermore, if the compati- bility conditions 1.9, 1.10 hold, then sup 0≤t≤T Ω ρ u 2 t w t 2 x, tdx T 0 Ω u 2 tx w tx 2 dx dt ≤ C. 2.28 8 Boundary Value Problems Proof. It follows from the continuity equation 1.2 that p satisfies p t p x u γpu x 0, 2.29 which, differentiated with respect to x, leads to p xt p xx u γ 1p x u x γpu xx 0. 2.30 Multiplying the above equation by p x and integrating over Ω, we deduce that d dt p x t 2 L 2 ≤ C Ω p x 2 u x p p x u xx x, tdx ≤ C u x t L ∞ p x t 2 L 2 p x t 2 L 2 b x t 2 L 2 G x t 2 L 2 , 2.31 where we have used the inequality u xx 2 L 2 ≤ C G x 2 L 2 p x 2 L 2 b x 2 L 2 , 2.32 which follows from the definition of G. Therefore, applying the previous Lemmas 2.1–2.5 and Gronwall’s lemma, one has sup 0≤t≤T p x t L 2 ≤ C, 2.33 which proves the first part ofthe lemma. We are now in a position to prove the second part. We first derive the estimate forthe longitudinal velocity u. To this end, we firstly rewrite 1.3 as ρu t ρuu x − λu xx p b 2 2 x 0. 2.34 Differentiation of 2.34 with respect to t gives ρu tt ρuu xt − λu xxt p 1 2 b 2 xt −ρ t u t uu x − ρu t u x , 2.35 which, multiplied by u t and integrated by parts over Ω, yields 1 2 d dt Ω ρu 2 t dx λ Ω u 2 xt dx − Ω p 1 2 b 2 t u xt dx − Ω ρu u 2 t uu x u t x ρu 2 t u x dx. 2.36 On the other hand, by virtue of 1.2 we have − Ω p t u tx dx Ω p x uu tx dx γ 2 d dt Ω pu 2 x dx − γ 2 Ω p t u 2 x dx γ 2 d dt Ω pu 2 x dx Ω p x uu tx dx γ 2 Ω − pu u 2 x x γ − 1pu 3 x dx, 2.37 Jianwen Zhang 9 from which and 2.36 we see that d dt Ω 1 2 ρu 2 t γ 2 pu 2 x dx λ Ω u 2 tx dx ≤ Ω 2ρ|u| u t u tx ρ|u| u t u x 2 ρ|u| 2 u t u xx ρ|u| 2 u x u tx ρ u t 2 u x p x |u| u tx γp|u| u x u xx γγ − 1 2 p u x 3 |b| b t u tx dx ≡ 9 j1 I j . 2.38 Using the previous lemmas and Young’s inequality, we can estimate each term on the right-hand side of 2.38 as follows with a small positive constant : I 1 ≤ 2ρ 1/2 L ∞ u L ∞ ρu t L 2 u tx L 2 ≤ u tx 2 L 2 C −1 ρu t 2 L 2 , I 2 ≤ρ 1/2 L ∞ u L ∞ ρu t L 2 u x L 2 u x L ∞ ≤ C u x 2 L ∞ C ρu t 2 L 2 , I 3 ≤ρ 1/2 L ∞ u 2 L ∞ ρu t L 2 u xx L 2 ≤ C u xx 2 L 2 C ρu t 2 L 2 , I 4 ≤ρ L ∞ u 2 L ∞ u x L 2 u tx L 2 ≤ u tx 2 L 2 C −1 , I 5 ≤u x L ∞ ρu t 2 L 2 , I 6 ≤u L ∞ p x L 2 u tx L 2 ≤ u tx 2 L 2 C −1 , I 7 ≤ γp L ∞ u L ∞ u x L 2 u xx L 2 ≤ C C u xx 2 L 2 , I 8 ≤ Cp L ∞ u x L ∞ u x 2 L 2 ≤ C C u x 2 L ∞ , I 9 ≤b L ∞ b t L 2 u tx L 2 ≤ u tx 2 L 2 C −1 b t 2 L 2 . 2.39 Putting the above estimates into 2.38 and taking sufficiently small, we arrive at d dt Ω ρu 2 t pu 2 x dx Ω u 2 tx dx ≤ C 1 ρu t 2 L 2 u xx 2 L 2 u x 2 L ∞ b t 2 L 2 u x L ∞ ρu t 2 L 2 , 2.40 so that, using the relation between G x and u xx again, one infers from 2.40 that d dt Ω ρu 2 t pu 2 x dx Ω u 2 tx dx ≤ C 1 ρu t 2 L 2 G x 2 L 2 u x 2 L ∞ b t 2 L 2 C u x L ∞ ρu t 2 L 2 , 2.41 10 Boundary Value Problems where the first term on the right-hand side of 2.41 is integrable on 0,T due to the previous lemmas. Thus, integrating 2.41 over τ,t ⊂ 0,T, we deduce from 1.3 that Ω ρu 2 t x, tdx t τ Ω u 2 tx dx ds ≤ Ω ρu 2 t x, τdx C 1 t 0 u x s L ∞ ρu t s 2 L 2 ds Ω ρ −1 λu xx − p 1 2 b 2 x − ρuu x 2 x, τdx C 1 t 0 u x s L ∞ ρu t s 2 L 2 ds . 2.42 Letting τ → 0 and using the compatibility condition 1.9, we easily obtain from 2.42 that Ω ρu 2 t x, tdx t 0 Ω u 2 tx dx ds ≤ C 1 t 0 u x s L ∞ ρu t s 2 L 2 ds , 2.43 which, together with u x L 1 0,T;L ∞ ≤ C and Gronwall’s lemma, immediately yields sup 0≤t≤T ρu t t 2 L 2 u tx 2 L 2 0,T;L 2 ≤ C. 2.44 In a same manner as that in the derivation of 2.44, we can show the analogous esti- mate forthe transverse velocity w by using the previous lemmas, 2.44, andthe compatibility condition 1.10 as well. Thus, we complete the proof of Lemma 2.6. Remark 2.7. From the a priori estimates established above, one sees that the compatibility con- ditions are used to obtain the second part of Lemma 2.6 only. However, this is crucial in the proof oftheuniquenessofstrong solutions. 3. Globalexistenceofstrongsolutions In this section, we prove theglobalexistenceofstrongsolutions to the problem 1.2–1.7 by applying the a priori estimates given in the previous section. As usual, we first mollify the initial data to get theexistenceof smooth approximate solutions. For this purpose, we choose the smooth approximate functions ρ 0 and b 0 such that ρ 0 ∈ C 2 Ω, 0 <≤ ρ 0 ≤ ρ 0 L ∞ 1,ρ 0 −→ ρ 0 in H 1 , b 0 ∈ C 2 Ω, b 0 ≤ b 0 L ∞ 1, b 0 −→ b 0 in H 1 0 . 3.1 Let u 0 , w 0 ∈ C 1 0 Ω ∩ C 3 Ω, satisfying u 0 , w 0 → u 0 , w 0 in H 1 0 ∩H 2 , be the unique solution to the boundary value problems λu 0xx R ρ 0 γ 1 2 b 0 2 x ρ 0 1/2 f in Ω,u 0 | x0,1 0, μw 0xx −b 0x ρ 0 1/2 g in Ω, w 0 | x0,1 0, 3.2 [...]... 3.8 By the uniform in bounds given in 3.5 – 3.8 we conclude that there exists a subsequence of ρ , u , w , b which converges to a strong solution ρ, u, w, b to the original problem and satisfies 3.5 – 3.8 as well This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1 except theuniqueness assertion because ofthe presence of vacuum , which will be proved in the next section 4 Uniquenessand stability ofstrong solutions. .. no 2, pp 247–257, 1998 16 H J Choe and H Kim, Strongsolutionsofthe Navier-Stokes equationsfor isentropic compressible fluids,” Journal of Differential Equations, vol 190, no 2, pp 504–523, 2003 17 H J Choe and H Kim, Globalexistenceofthe radially symmetric solutionsofthe Navier-Stokes equationsforthe isentropic compressible fluids,” Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, vol 28, no 1,... section, we will prove the following stability theorem, which consequently implies theuniquenessofstrongsolutions Our proof is inspired by theuniqueness results due to ChoeKim 16, 17 and Desjardins 19 forthe isentropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations Theorem 4.1 Let ρ, u, w, b and ρ, u, w, b be globalsolutions to problems 1.2 – 1.7 with initial data ρ0 , u0 , w0 , b0 and ρ0 , u0 , w0 , b0...

Global existence of strong solutions In this section, we prove the global existence of strong solutions to the problem 1.2–1.7. 2008, Article ID 735846, 14 pages doi:10.1155/2008/735846 Research Article Global Existence and Uniqueness of Strong Solutions for the Magnetohydrodynamic Equations Jianwen Zhang School of Mathematical. the authors studied the global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equa- tions for isentropic compressible fluids.
