Abstract

This paper studies a singular limit problem for a reduced model for compressible non-resistive MHD which was first introduced in \cite{Li-Sun_JDE, Li-Sun} in a two-dimensional setting. This system can also be related to a certain class of two-fluid models. By a suitable rescaling of the magnetic pressure in terms of some parameter ε>0\varepsilon>0, by letting ε0\varepsilon\to 0 we perform the incompressible limit while keeping the Mach number of order O(1)O(1). The study is conducted in the framework of global in time finite energy weak solutions and for ill-prepared initial data. We also consider a similar problem in presence of a strong Coriolis term. The key ingredient of the proof, based on a compensated compactness argument, is the use of the transport equation (well-known in the context of two-fluid models) underlying the dynamics. Thanks to it, and differently from previous studies about the incompressible limit, we are able to identify the asymptotics of the terms of order O(ε)O(\varepsilon) and to characterise their dynamics; such an information is in fact crucial to obtain a closed system in the limit.
