Abstract
In this paper, we study the local behavior of the solutions to the three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations. we are interested in both the uniform gradient estimates for smooth solutions and regularity of weak solutions. It is shown that, in some neighborhood of (x0,t0), the gradients of the velocity field u and the magnetic field B are locally uniformly bounded in L∞ norm as long as that either the scaled local L2-norm of the gradient or the scaled local total energy of the velocity field is small, and the scaled local total energy of the magnetic field is uniformly bounded. These estimates indicate that the velocity field plays a more dominant role than that of the magnetic field in the regularity theory. As an immediately corollary we can derive an estimates of Hausdorff dimension on the possible singular set of a suitable weak solution as in the case of pure fluid. Various partial regularity results are obtained as consequences of our blow-up estimates.
