On the inviscid and non-resistive limit for the equations of incompressible magnetohydrodynamics

Abstract

We prove the convergence of the solutions for the incompressible homogeneous magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system to the solutions to ideal MHD one in the inviscid and non-resistive limit, detailing the explicit convergence rates. For this study we consider a fluid occupying the whole space R3 and we assume that the viscosity effects in this fluid can be described by two different operators: the usual Laplacian operator affected by the inverse of the Reynolds number or by a viscosity operator introduced by S. I. Braginskii in 1965.
