Global Well Posedness for the Thermally Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Equations in 3D

Abstract

In this paper, we study the thermally radiative magnetohydrodynamic equations in 3D, which describe the dynamical behaviors of magnetized fluids that have nonignorable energy and momentum exchange with radiation under the nonlocal thermal equilibrium case. By using exquisite energy estimate, global existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to Cauchy problem in ℝ3 or T3 are established when initial data is a small perturbation of some given equilibrium. We can further prove that the rates of convergence of solution toward the equilibrium state are algebraic in ℝ3 and exponential in T3 under some additional conditions on initial data. The proof is based on the Fourier multiplier technique.
