In this paper, we are concerned with the motion of electrically conducting fluid governed by the two-dimensional non-isentropic viscous compressible MHD system on the half plane, with no-slip condition for velocity field, perfect conducting condition for magnetic field and Dirichlet boundary condition for temperature on the boundary. When the viscosity, heat conductivity and magnetic diffusivity coefficients tend to zero in the same rate, there is a boundary layer that is described by a Prandtl-type system. By applying a coordinate transformation in terms of stream function as motivated by the recent work cite{liu2016mhdboundarylayer} on the incompressible MHD system, under the non-degeneracy condition on the tangential magnetic field, we obtain the local-in-time well-posedness of the boundary layer system in weighted Sobolev spaces.
We prove the local well-posedness in Sobolev spaces of the free-boundary problem for compressible inviscid resistive isentropic MHD system under the Rayleigh-Taylor physical sign condition, which describes the motion of a free-boundary compressible plasma in an electro-magnetic field with magnetic diffusion. We use Lagrangian coordinates and apply the tangential smoothing method introduced by Coutand-Shkoller to construct the approximation solutions. One of the key observations is that the Christodoulou-Lindblad type elliptic estimate together with magnetic diffusion not only gives the common control of magnetic field and fluid pressure directly, but also controls the Lorentz force which is a higher order term in the energy functional.
A semi-explicit formula of solution to the boundary layer system for thermal layer derived from the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with the non-slip boundary condition when the viscosity coefficients vanish is given, in particular in three space dimension. In contrast to the inviscid Prandtl system studied by [7] in two space dimension, the main difficulty comes from the coupling of the velocity field and the temperature field through a degenerate parabolic equation. The convergence of these boundary layer equations to the inviscid Prandtl system is justified when the initial temperature goes to a constant. Moreover, the time asymptotic stability of the linearized system around a shear flow is given, and in particular, it shows that in three space dimension, the asymptotic stability depends on whether the direction of tangential velocity field of the shear flow is invariant in the normal direction respective to the boundary.
We consider 3D free-boundary compressible elastodynamic system under the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition. It describes the motion of an isentropic inviscid elastic medium with moving boundary. The deformation tensor satisfies the neo-Hookean linear elasticity. The local well-posedness was proved by Trakhinin [85] by Nash-Moser iteration. In this paper, we give a new proof of the local well-posedness by the combination of classical energy method and hyperbolic approach and also establish the incompressible limit. We apply the tangential smoothing method to define the approximation system. The key observation is that the structure of the wave equation of pressure together with Christodoulou-Lindblad elliptic estimates reduces the energy estimates to the control of tangentially-differentiated wave equations in spite of a potential loss of derivative in the source term. We first establish the nonlinear energy estimate without loss of regularity for the free-boundary compressible elastodynamic system. The energy estimate is also uniform in sound speed which yields the incompressible limit. It is worth emphasizing that our method is completely applicable to compressible Euler equations. Our observation also shows that it is not necessary to include the full time derivatives in boundary energy and analyze higher order wave equations as in the previous works of compressible Euler equations (cf. Lindblad-Luo [60] and Luo [62]) even if we require the energy is uniform in sound speed. Moreover, the enhanced regularity for compressible Euler equations obtained in [60,62] can still be recovered for a slightly compressible elastic medium by further delicate analysis which is completely different from Euler equations.
We consider the flow of an upper convected Maxwell fluid in the limit of high Weissenberg and Reynolds number. In this limit, the no-slip condition cannot be imposed on the solutions. We derive equations for the resulting boundary layer and prove the well-posedness of these equations. A transformation to Lagrangian coordinates is crucial in the argument.
In this paper, we consider the three-dimensional full compressible viscous non-resistive MHD system. Global well-posedness is proved for an initial-boundary value problem around a strong background magnetic field. It is also shown that the unique solution converges to the steady state at an almost exponential rate as time tends to infinity. The proof is based on the celebrated two-tier energy method, due to Guo and Tice [emph{Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.}, 207 (2013), pp. 459--531; emph{Anal. PDE.}, 6 (2013), pp. 287--369], reformulated in Lagrangian coordinates. The obtained result may be viewed as an extension of Tan and Wang [emph{SIAM J. Math. Anal.}, 50 (2018), pp. 1432--1470] to the context of heat-conductive fluids. This in particular verifies the stabilization effects of vertical magnetic field in the full compressible non-resistive fluids.
