Abstract
This paper is concerned with a Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional (3D) nonhomogeneous incompressible heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in the whole space. First of all, we establish a weak Serrin-type blowup criterion for strong solutions. It is shown that for the Cauchy problem of the 3D nonhomogeneous heat conducting MHD equations, the strong solution exists globally if the velocity satisfies the weak Serrin’s condition. In particular, this criterion is independent of the absolute temperature and magnetic field. Then as an immediate application, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of strong solution to the 3D nonhomogeneous heat conducting MHD equations under a smallness condition on the initial data. In addition, the initial vacuum is allowed.
