Boundary Value Problems volume 2016, Article number: 188 (2016)
Abstract
This paper proves a regularity criterion for the 3D generalized Hall-MHD system.
1 Introduction
In this paper, we consider the following 3D generalized Hall-MHD system:
Here u, π, and b denote the velocity, pressure, and magnetic field of the fluid, respectively. \(0<\alpha,\beta\) are two constants. The fractional Laplace operator \((-\Delta)^{\alpha}\) is defined through the Fourier transform, namely, \(\widehat{(-\Delta)^{\alpha}f}(\xi )=|\xi|^{2\alpha}\hat{f}(\xi)\).
The applications of the Hall-MHD system cover a very wide range of physical objects, for example, magnetic reconnection in space plasmas, star formation, neutron stars, and the geo-dynamo.
When the Hall effect term \(\operatorname {rot}(\operatorname {rot}b\times b)\) is neglected, the system (1.1)-(1.4) reduces to the well-known generalized MHD system, which has received attention in many studies [1–6].
When \(\alpha=\beta=1\), the system (1.1)-(1.4) reduces to the well-known Hall-MHD system, which has received many studies [7–11]. Reference [7] gave a derivation of the isentropic Hall-MHD system from a two-fluid Euler-Maxwell system. Chae-Degond-Liu [8] proved the local existence of smooth solutions. Chae and Schonbek [9] showed the time-decay and some regularity criteria were proved in [10–12]. Some other relevant results about Hall-MHD equations can be found in [13–17].
The local well-posedness is established in Wan and Zhou [18] when \(0<\alpha\leq1\) and \(\frac{1}{2}<\beta\leq1\).
When \(\frac{3}{4}\leq\alpha<\frac{5}{4}\) and \(1\leq\beta<\frac{7}{4}\), Jiang and Zhu [19] prove the following regularity criteria:
and one of the following two conditions:
or
When \(1\leq\alpha<\frac{5}{4}\) and \(1\leq\beta<\frac{7}{4}\), Ye [20] showed the following regularity criterion:
where p, q, â„“, and k satisfy the relation
and
The aim of this paper is to refine the results in [19, 20] as follows.
Theorem 1.1
Let \(\frac{3}{4}\leq\alpha<\frac{5}{4}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\leq \beta<\frac{7}{4}\) and \(u_{0},b_{0}\in H^{2}\) with \(\operatorname {div}u_{0}=\operatorname {div}b_{0}=0\) in \({\mathbb {R}^{3}}\). If ∇u and ∇b satisfy
with \(0< T<\infty\), then the solution \((u,b)\) can be extended beyond T.
In the following proof, we will use the following bilinear products and commutator estimates due to Kato-Ponce [21]:
with \(s>0\), \(\Lambda:=(-\Delta)^{\frac{1}{2}}\), and \(\frac{1}{p}=\frac {1}{p_{1}}+\frac{1}{q_{1}}=\frac{1}{p_{2}}+\frac{1}{q_{2}}\).
We will also use the improved Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities [22–24]:
with \(\theta_{1}:=\frac{\gamma_{2}}{s+\gamma_{2}}\), \(s:=1+\gamma_{2}-\beta\), \(p_{3}:=\frac{2}{\theta_{1}}\) and \(q_{3}:=\frac{2}{1-\theta_{1}}\)
with \(\theta_{2}:=\frac{\gamma_{2}}{1+s+\gamma_{2}}\), \(p_{4}:=\frac{2}{\theta _{2}}\), and \(q_{4}:=\frac{2}{1-\theta_{2}}\). We have
with \(\theta_{3}:=\frac{s}{1+s+\gamma_{2}}\), \(p_{5}:=\frac{2}{\theta_{3}}\), and \(q_{5}:=\frac{2}{1-\theta_{3}}\).
2 Proof of Theorem 1.1
This section is devoted to the proof of Theorem 1.1, we only need to prove a priori estimates.
First, testing (1.1) by u and using (1.3), we see that
Testing (1.2) by b and using (1.3), we find that
Summing up the above two equations, we get the well-known energy inequality
Testing (1.1) by \(-\Delta u\) and using (1.3), we infer that
Testing (1.2) by \(-\Delta b\) and using (1.3), we deduce that
Summing up (2.2) and (2.3), using (1.6), (1.8), (1.9), (1.10), (1.11), and \(I_{3}+I_{4}=0\), we derive
which gives
In the following proofs, we will use the following Sobolev embedding theorem:
Taking Δ to (1.1), testing by Δu and using (1.3), we have
Applying Δ to (1.2), testing by Δb and using (1.3), we have
Note that \(I_{8}+I_{11}=0\).
Using (1.7), (2.4), and (2.5), we bound \(I_{6}+I_{7}+I_{9}+I_{10}\) as follows:
Using (1.6), (1.12), (1.13), (1.14), and (1.15), we bound \(I_{12}\) as follows:
Inserting the above estimates into (2.6) and (2.7), and summing up the results and using the Gronwall inequality, we arrive at
This completes the proof.
3 Conclusions
The applications of Hall-MHD system cover a very wide range of physical objects, such as magnetic reconnection in space plasmas, star formation, neutron stars, and the geo-dynamo. In this paper, we obtained a new regularity criterion that improves and extends some known regularity criteria of the 3D generalized Hall-MHD system.
