Nonlinear stability and optimal decay rates of inviscid magnetic Benard fluids

Hao Liu, Ruixin Zeng, Chengrong Zhang

Abstract:
This article studies the nonlinear stability of two-dimensional (2D) incompressible magnetic Benard fluids near hydrostatic equilibrium in the absence of viscosity. We prove the global well-posedness in Besov space by utilizing a frequency decomposition approach, based on the potential hyperbolic structure. Furthermore, under appropriate additional conditions on low-frequency part. We derive a Lyapunov-type differential inequality and establish the optimal temporal decay rates for the global solution, in the sense that the obtained decay rates coincide with those of the associated linear heat semigroup and therefore cannot be improved in general. Compared with the results in [30] our findings not only provide the precise decay rates but also demonstrate faster decay than those previously obtained.
