Nonlinear stability of current-vortex sheet to the incompressible MHD equations

Analysis of PDEs 2015-10-09 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we solve a long-standing open problem: nonlinear stability of current-vortex sheet in the ideal incompressible Magneto-Hydrodynamics under the linear stability condition. This result gives a first rigorous confirmation of the stabilizing effect of the magnetic field on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
