Abstract:
In this talk we will present a singular limit problem for a reduced model for compressible non-resistive MHD. This system can also be related to a certain class of two-fluid models. By a suitable rescaling of the magnetic pressure in terms of some parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, by letting $\varepsilon \to 0$ we perform the incompressible limit while keeping the Mach number of order $O(1)$. Our study is conducted in the framework of global in time finite energy weak solutions and for ill-prepared initial data. We also consider a similar problem in presence of a strong Coriolis term. The key ingredient of the proof, based on a compensated compactness argument, is the use of the transport equation (well-known in the context of two-fluid models) underlying the dynamics. Thanks to it, and differently from previous studies about the incompressible limit, we are able to identify the asymptotic of the terms of order $O(\varepsilon)$ and to characterise their dynamics; such an information is in fact crucial to obtain a closed system in the limit. This is recent joint result with Francesco Fanelli and Young-Sam Kwon.
