Generalized MHD equations. (Q1419806)

The paper deals with the \(d\)-dimensional generalized MHD (GMHD) equations \[ \begin{aligned} &\partial_{t}u + u\cdot \nabla u =-\nabla P + b \cdot \nabla b - \nu (-\Delta)^{\alpha} u,\\ &\partial_{t}b + u \cdot \nabla b= b \cdot \nabla u - \eta (-\Delta)^{\beta} b, \end{aligned} \] where the fractional power \((-\Delta)^{\alpha}\) is defined via a Fourier transform and where the spatial domain \(\Omega\) is either the whole space \(\mathbb R^{d}\) or the Torus \(\mathbb{T}^{d}\). Depending on the parameters \(\nu\), \(\eta\), \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) the author investigates three major cases: (1) \(\nu >0\) and \(\eta >0\); (2) \(\nu=0\) and \(\eta >0\); (3) \(\nu = \eta = 0\). Depending on these cases, several existence, uniqueness and in particular regularity results are established.
