1 Introduction
In this paper, we consider the following three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations with damping:
where \(D\subseteq \mathbb {R}^{3}\) is a bounded domain with the boundary \(\partial D\) and \(t>0\). u, b are the fluid velocity and magnetic field, respectively. \(f_{1}(x),f_{2}(x)\) are the external body force. p is the pressure, \(\beta \ge 1\) is constant, and \(\alpha \) is the damping coefficient. The constants \(\nu ,\kappa \ge 0\) are kinematic viscosity and magnetic resistivity. For simplicity, we set \(\nu =\kappa =1\).
The magnetohydrodynamic model has been investigated by many authors. In [12], Sermange and Temam have proved the well-posedness of solutions for MHD system in a bounded and a periodic domain. At the same time, regularity properties and attractors were also obtained. In [1], the pullback attractors and well-posedness of solutions of 2D MHD system were proved by using the Galerkin method. Based on the well-posedness of strong solutions of 3D MHD system that is difficult problem, many authors in [3, 6, 18, 19, 21] have studied the attractors and invariant measures of solutions of 3D-modified MHD system. Our result improves the early results in [21].
The damping term is very important for proving the well-posedness of 3D MHD system. In previous years, well-posedness and regularity of solutions of 3D Navier–Stokes system with damping were proved in [2, 20]. In [4, 5, 7,8,9, 11], the global existence of strong solution for 3D Navier–Stokes system with damping was proved for \(\beta >3\) with any \(\alpha >0\) and \(\alpha \ge \frac{1}{4}\) as \(\beta =3\). Moreover, the global well-posedness of the 3D magnetohydrodynamics equations with damping was proved for \(\beta \ge 4\) with any \(\alpha >0\) in [16]. Based on [10], global well-posedness of the 3D magneto–micropolar equations with damping was proved for \(\beta \ge 4\) with any \(\alpha >0\). The existence and regularity of the trajectory attractor of 3D modified Navier–Stokes equations were proved in [17].
To obtain the existence of attractors for the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics equations with damping, we overcome the main difficulty lies in dealing with the nonlinear term \((u\cdot \nabla )u\), \((u\cdot \nabla )b\), \((b\cdot \nabla )u\), \((b\cdot \nabla )b\) and \(F(u)=\alpha |u|^{\beta -1}u\). C is a nonnegative constant which may change from line to line.
This paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we give some preliminaries and main Theorem 2.1. In Sect. 3, the uniform estimate of solutions for system (1.1) is proved. In Sect. 4, the existence of a global attractor for system (1.1) is proved.
2 Preliminaries
In this paper, the inner products and norms are defined by
and \(||\cdot ||^{2}=(\cdot ,\cdot )\), \(||\nabla \cdot ||^{2}=((\cdot ,\cdot ))\), \(\mathcal {V}=\{u\in (C_0^\infty (D))^3:\mathrm{div}u=0\}\), \(H=\) the closure of \(\mathcal {V}\) in \((L^{2}(D))^{3}\) and \(V=\) the closure of \(\mathcal {V}\) in \((H^{1}_{0}(D))^{3}\). The \(L^{p}-\)norm is given by \(||\cdot ||_{p}\). By using the Poincaré inequality, there exists a positive constant \(\lambda _{1}\) such that
here, \(\lambda _{1}\) represents the minimum of between the first eigenvalue of \(-\Delta u\) and the first eigenvalue of \(-\Delta b\). Let \(F(u)=\alpha |u|^{\beta -1}u\) and \(D(A)=H^{2}(D)\cap V\). Here, P is the orthogonal projection of \((L^{2}(D))^{3}\) onto H such that \(Au=-P\Delta u\) and \(Ab=-P\Delta b\). For \(u,v\in V\), we define the bilinear form \(B(u,v)=P((u\cdot \nabla )v)\). We define \(g(u)=PF(u)\). Now, we rewrite system (1.1) as follows in the abstract form:
Now, we introduce the main result as follows.
Theorem 2.1
Assume that \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\), \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\). The operator \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) of the three-dimensional MHD equations with damping system (2.2) satisfies
\(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is defined in the space \(V\times V\). System (2.2) has a \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)global attractor that satisfies the following.
-
(i)
The global attractor \(\mathcal {A}\) is invariant and compact in \(H^{2}\times H^{2}\).
-
(ii)
The global attractor \(\mathcal {A}\) attracts bounded subset of \(V\times V\) in relation to the norm topology of \(H^{2}\times H^{2}\).
3 Uniform Estimate
Firstly, we will prove the uniform estimates of strong solutions for system (2.2) as \(t\rightarrow \infty \). We show the existence of attractors by using the following estimates.
Lemma 3.1
Let \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\) for \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\). There exists a constant \(t_{0}\) such that
Proof
Multiplying the first equation of (2.2) by u and the second equation of (2.2) by b, integrating over D, then we have
Hence,
and
Applying the Gronwall inequality, it is easy to get
Let \(t_{0}=\max \{-\frac{1}{\lambda _{1}}\ln \frac{||f_{1}||^{2}+||f_{2}||^{2}}{\lambda _{1}^{2} (||u_{0}||^{2}+||b_{0}||^{2})},0\}\). For any \(t\ge t_{0}\),
Integrating (3.3) on \([t,t+1]\) and applying above inequality (3.6), we get for any \(t\ge t_{0}\),
Lemma 3.2
Let \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\) for \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\). There exists a \(t_{1}\) such that for every \(t\ge t_{1}\),
Proof
Inspired by [16], it is easy to get for \(\beta \ge 4\) with any \(\alpha >0\),
Multiplying the \(L^{2}-\)inner product of the first equation of (1.1) by \(u_{t}\), then we get
It is easy to get that
For the second term on the right-hand side of inequality (3.10), inspired by Theorem 1.1 in [10], we deduce
Inspired by Theorem 1.2 in [16] and Theorem 1.1 in [7], we get for \(\beta \ge 4\)
For the third term on the right-hand side of inequality (3.10), using (3.12), then we get

Lemma 3.3
Let \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\) for \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\). There exists a \(t_{2}\) such that for every \(t\ge t_{2}\),
Proof
By (3.8), there exists a \(t_{2}\) such that for any \(t\ge t_{2}\)
Lemma 3.4
Let \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\) for \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\). There exists a \(t_{3}\) such that for every \(t\ge t_{3}\),
Proof
Multiplying the first equation of (1.1) by \(u_{t}\) and the second equation of (1.1) by \(b_{t}\), integrating the result on D, then we have
For \(I_{1}\), inspired by Theorem 1.1 in [10], we get
For \(I_{2}\), by Sobolev inequality and (3.12), we get
Similarly, we also have
For \(I_{4}\), applying the Sobolev inequality, we get
Adding up (3.18)–(3.22), we get
By Lemma 3.2–Lemma 3.3, integrating (3.23) in time from t to \(t+1\), it is easy to get
We apply \(\partial _{t}\) to the first equation of (2.2) and multiply the \(L^{2}-\)inner product by \(u_{t}\). Similarly, we apply \(\partial _{t}\) to the second equation of (2.2) and multiply the \(L^{2}-\)inner product by \(b_{t}\). Then we get
For \(I_{9}\), by Lemma 2.4 in [14], we have \(I_{9}\le 0\).

For \(J_{2}\), similarly, then we also have
For \(J_{3}\), applying the Sobolev inequality, we deduce
For \(J_{4}\), similarly, then we also have
For \(J_{5}\), since \(\frac{\beta -3}{2}<1\) for \(4\le \beta <5\), applying the Young’s inequality, we get

Proof
We integrate inequality (3.29) from t to \(t+1\) and use the Lemma 3.4 to get
By virtue of Lemma 3.5, then we deduce
Applying the Agmon inequality, it is easy to get
We apply \(\partial _{t}\) to the first equation of (2.2) and multiply the \(L^{2}-\)inner product by \(Au_{t}\). Similarly, we apply \(\partial _{t}\) to the second equation of (2.2) and multiply the \(L^{2}-\)inner product by \(Ab_{t}\). Then we also have
For \(K_{1}\) and \(K_{2}\), applying the Sobolev inequality and Lemma 3.5, we get
and
For \(K_{3}\) and \(K_{4}\), we get by using the similar method
and
Similarly, we deduce
For \(K_{9}\), by (3.42), we have
Summing up (3.43)–(3.49), we get

4 Global Attractors
In this section, we will show the existence of a global attractor for system (2.2) in \(H^{2}\times H^{2}\). Inspired by [13, 14], we introduce the following the main lemmas.
Lemma 4.1
\(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is Lipschitz continuous in \(V\times V\).
Proof
Let \((u_{1},b_{1})\) and \((u_{2},b_{2})\) be two solutions of system (2.2) with initial values \((u_{01},b_{01})\) and \((u_{02},b_{02})\). We set \(\bar{u}=u_{1}-u_{2}\) and \(\bar{b}=b_{1}-b_{2}\). We multiply the inner product with \(A\bar{u}\) and \(A\bar{b}\), respectively. Then we get
Inspired by [13, 14], since \(\int _{0}^{t}(||u_{1}||^{2(\beta -1)}_{3(\beta -1)}+||\nabla u_{2}||^{2}(| |u_{1}||^{2(\beta -2)}_{6(\beta -2)} +||u_{2}||^{2(\beta -2)}_{6(\beta -2)}))\mathrm{d}s<C\) for \(4\le \beta <5\), then we get
For \(L_{2}\) and \(L_{3}\), applying the Sobolev inequality, we have
and
Similarly, for the rest of terms \(L_{4}-L_{9}\), we get
and
Adding up (4.1)–(4.7), it is easy to get
Applying the Gronwall inequality and Lemma 3.1–Lemma 3.6, this completes the proof of Lemma 4.1.
Lemma 4.2
Assume that \(\mathcal {A}\) is a \((V\times V,V\times V)-\)global attractor for \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\). \(\mathcal {A}\) is a \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)global attractor if and only if
-
(i)
\(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is a bounded \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)absorbing set.
-
(ii)
\(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)asymptotically compact.
Firstly, we will prove the operator \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) has a \((V\times V,V\times V)-\)global attractor, then by using above Lemma 4.2, we get the attractor is a \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)global attractor. Let
and
By above Lemma 3.2, we deduce that \(B_{1}\) is bounded absorbing set of \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) in the space \((V\times V,V\times V)\). By above Lemma 3.5, we get that \(B_{2}\) is bounded absorbing set of \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) in the space \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})\). By Lemma 3.5, the \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,V\times V)\)-asymptotically compact. Inspired by [13,14,15], we get a \((V\times V,V\times V)\)-global attractor \(\mathcal {A}\). Finally, we will show \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})\)-asymptotically compact. We need the following lemma.
Lemma 4.3
Let \((u_{0},b_{0})\in V\times V\) and \(f_{1},f_{2}\in H\) for \(4\le \beta <5\) with any \(\alpha >0\). The dynamical system \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})\)-asymptotically compact.
Proof
Assume that \((u_{0n},b_{0n})\) is a bounded in \(V\times V\) and \(t_{n}\rightarrow \infty \). We will show \(\{S(t_{n})(u_{0n},b_{0n})\}\) has a convergent subsequence in \(H^{2}\times H^{2}\). Let
For the first equation and the second equation of (2.2), we get
By Lemma 3.5 and Lemma 3.6, then there exists a positive constant \(T>0\) such that for every \(t\ge T\),
When \(t_{n}\rightarrow \infty \), there exists a \(N>0\) such that \(t_{n}\ge T\) for every \(n\ge N\). Applying (4.9), we deduce for \(n\ge N\),
Applying the compactness of embedding \(V\hookrightarrow H\) and \(D(A)\hookrightarrow V\) and (4.10), then there exist \((\bar{u},\bar{b})\in V\times V\) and \((\hat{u},\hat{b})\in D(A)\times D(A)\) such that
By (4.10) and \(H^{2}\hookrightarrow L^{\infty }\), we get
Inspired by [13, 14], applying (4.11), we get
Hence,
Then, by Sobolev inequality, we have
Similarly, we have
and
Applying (4.13), (4.14), (4.16), (4.21) and (4.22), then we get
as \(n\rightarrow \infty \). We get \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})\)-asymptotically compact.
Proof of Theorem 2.1
Applying Lemma 3.5, we get \(B_{2}=\{u,b\in D(A):||Au||^{2}+||Ab||^{2}\le C\}\) denotes a bounded \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)absorbing set. Next, applying Lemma 4.3, we obtain the \(\{S(t)\}_{t\ge 0}\) is \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})\)-asymptotically compact. Finally, by Lemma 4.2, \(\mathcal {A}\) is a \((V\times V,H^{2}\times H^{2})-\)global attractor.
