Abstract

In this paper, we study the energy equality for weak solutions to the non-resistive MHD equations with physical boundaries. Although the equations of magnetic field bb are of hyperbolic type, and the boundary effects are considered, we still prove the global energy equality provided that uLlocq(0,T;Lp(Ω)) for any 1q+1p12, with p4, and bLlocr(0,T;Ls(Ω)) for any 1r+1s12, with s4 u \in L^{q}_{loc}\left(0, T ; L^{p}(\Omega)\right) \text { for any } \frac{1}{q}+\frac{1}{p} \leq \frac{1}{2}, \text { with } p \geq 4,\text{ and } b \in L^{r}_{loc}\left(0, T ; L^{s}(\Omega)\right) \text { for any } \frac{1}{r}+\frac{1}{s} \leq \frac{1}{2}, \text { with } s \geq 4 . In particular, compared with the existed results, we do not require any boundary layer assumptions and additional conditions on the pressure PP. Our result requires the regularity of boundary Ω\partial\Omega is only Lipschitz which is the minimum requirement to make the boundary condition bnb\cdot n sense. The proof is based on the important properties of weak solutions of the nonstationary Stokes system and the separate mollification of weak solutions from the boundary effect by considering a non-standard local energy equality and transform the boundary effects into the estimates of the gradient of cut-off functions.
