TL;DR
The paper addresses the global stability and asymptotic behavior of the incompressible MHD system with velocity damping under small perturbations of a Diophantine background magnetic field. It combines a Fourier-analytic representation with sharp kernel estimates for the linearized problem and a nonlinear energy framework to obtain global existence and explicit algebraic decay in Sobolev spaces. The results extend prior work to $\mathbb{T}^n$ domains with lower regularity requirements, revealing a dimension-independent decay mechanism and establishing a versatile approach for partially dissipative fluid models. The analysis underscores the stabilizing role of the background field and delivers decay profiles that depend on initial regularity, offering insights into magnetic relaxation phenomena and potential extensions to related PDEs.
Abstract
In this article, we study the stability and large time behavior for an multi-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamical system with a velocity damping term, for small perturbations near a steady-state of magnetic field fulfilling the Diophantine condition. Our results mathematically characterize the background magnetic field exerts the stabilizing effect, and bridge the gap left by previous work with respect to the asymptotic behavior in time. Our proof approach mainly relies on the Fourier analysis and energy estimates. In addition, we provide a versatile analytical framework applicable to many other partially dissipative fluid models.
