ABSTRACT

In this paper, firstly, some priori estimates are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a two dimensional generalized magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system. Then the existence of the global attractor is proved. Finally, the upper bound estimation of the Hausdorff and fractal dimension of attractor is got.

MHD System, Existence, Global Attractor, Dimension Estimation

1. Introduction

In this paper, we study the following magnetohydrodynamic system:

(1.1)

here is bounded set, is the bound of, where u is the velocity vector field, v is the magnetic

vector field, are the kinematic viscosity and diffusivity constants respectively.. Let.

When, problem (1.1) reduces to the MHD equations. In particular, if, problem (1.1) becomes the ideal MHD equations. It is therefore reasonable to call (1.1) a system of generalized MHD equations, or simply GMHD. Moreover, it has similar scaling properties and energy estimate as the Navier-Stokes and MHD equations.

The solvability of the MHD system was investigated in the beginning of 1960s. In particular in [1] -[4] the global existence of weak solutions and local in time well-posedness was proved for various initial boundary value problems. However, similar to the situation with the Navier-Stokes equations, the problem of the global smooth solvability for the MHD equations is still open.

Analogously to the case of the Navier-Stokes system (see [5] -[8] ) we introduce the concept of suitable weak solutions. We prove the existence of the global attractor (see [9] ) and getting the upper bound estimation of the Hausdorff and fractal dimension of attractor for the MHD system.
