Global solutions to the two-dimensional compressible MHD equations with density-dependent bulk viscosity
Abstract
Global weak and strong solutions are established for 2D periodic resistive compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with density-dependent bulk viscosity and pressure, using renormalized densities, effective-flux identities, and scaled perturbation norms.
We study the two-dimensional periodic resistive compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations with constant shear viscosity and magnetic diffusivity, bulk viscosity ρ^β, and pressure ρ^γ. For every β>1 and γ>1, we construct global finite-energy renormalized weak solutions from strictly positive bounded W^{1,q} densities, q>2, and arbitrary H^1 velocity and magnetic data. The construction combines approximation-independent finite density moments, generalized effective-flux identities, and a joint logarithmic renormalization of the density and its entropy defect. An augmented relative energy containing the β-power density potential yields weak--strong uniqueness against positive H^2 strong solutions for the same full pressure range. We also establish global strong existence for a large-background family when γ>max{5-2β,β+1}. Writing m=intρ_0, the density perturbation is bounded in the scaled norm m^{(γ-3)/2}|ρ_0-m|_{H^2}, while the fixed H^2 velocity and magnetic norms need not be small. For sufficiently large m, frequency-dependent acoustic dissipation, staged vorticity weights, and a separate initial-layer flux estimate close a simultaneous bootstrap. The admissible pressure exponents have infimum 7/3, with the endpoint excluded. For β>2 the relevant damping rate is the minimum of the viscous and pressure-relaxation rates; keeping both rates extends the argument without an upper restriction on β. The strong theorem has no upper restriction on γ under this scaled density hypothesis; for fixed additive density perturbations it applies in the stated lower range up to γ=3.
