Abstract

In this paper, the 3-D compressible MHD equations with initial vacuum or infinity electric conductivity is considered. We prove that the LL^\infty norms of the deformation tensor D(u)D(u) and the absolute temperature θ\theta control the possible blow-up (see [5][18][20]) for strong solutions, which means that if a solution of the compressible MHD equations is initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the formation of singularity must be caused by losing the bound of D(u)D(u) and θ\theta as the critical time approaches. The viscosity coefficients are only restricted by the physical conditions. Our criterion (see (\ref{eq:2.911})) is similar to [17] for 33-D incompressible Euler equations, [10] for 33-D compressible isentropic Navier-stokes equations and [22]for 33-D compressible isentropic MHD equations.
