Abstract
We are concerned on the possibility of finite time singularity in a partially viscous magnetohydrodynamic equations in Rn, n=2,3, namely the MHD with positive viscosity and zero resistivity. In the special case of zero magnetic field the system reduces to the Navier–Stokes equations in Rn. In this paper we exclude the scenario of finite time singularity in the form of self-similarity, under suitable integrability conditions on the velocity and the magnetic field. We also prove the nonexistence of asymptotically self-similar singularity. This provides us information on the behavior of solutions near possible singularity of general type as described in Corollary 1.1.
