    We prove existence, uniqueness, and higher-order global regularity of strong solutions to a particular Voigt-regularization of the three-dimensional inviscid resistive Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Specifically, the coupling of a resistive magnetic field to the Euler-Voigt model is introduced to form an inviscid regularization of the inviscid resistive MHD system. The results hold in both the whole space \nR^3 and in the context of periodic boundary conditions. Weak solutions for this regularized model are also considered, and proven to exist globally in time, but the question of uniqueness for weak solutions is still open. Since the main purpose of this line of research is to introduce a reliable and stable inviscid numerical regularization of the underlying model we, in particular, show that the solutions of the Voigt regularized system converge, as the regularization parameter \alpha\maps0, to strong solutions of the original inviscid resistive MHD, on the corresponding time interval of existence of the latter. Moreover, we also establish a new criterion for blow-up of solutions to the original MHD system inspired by this Voigt regularization. This type of regularization, and the corresponding results, are valid for, and can also be applied to, a wide class of hydrodynamic models

    In this paper we consider the Navier-Stokes equations supplemented with either the Dirichlet or vorticity-based Navier boundary conditions. We prove that weak solutions obtained as limits of solutions to the Navier-Stokes-Voigt model satisfy the local energy inequality. Moreover, in the periodic setting we prove that if the parameters are chosen in an appropriate way, then we can construct suitable weak solutions trough a Fourier-Galerkin finite-dimensional approximation in the space variables

    A Blow-Up Criterion for the 3D Euler Equations Via the Euler-Voigt Inviscid Regularization

    Full text link
    We propose a new blow-up criterion for the 3D Euler equations of incompressible fluid flows, based on the 3D Euler-Voigt inviscid regularization. This criterion is similar in character to a criterion proposed in a previous work by the authors, but it is stronger, and better adapted for computational tests. The 3D Euler-Voigt equations enjoy global well-posedness, and moreover are more tractable to simulate than the 3D Euler equations. A major advantage of these new criteria is that one only needs to simulate the 3D Euler-Voigt, and not the 3D Euler equations, to test the blow-up criteria, for the 3D Euler equations, computationally
