Abstract
Let be an axisymmetric self-similar solution to the stationary MHD equations with magnetic diffusion, of the form and in cylindrical coordinates , where is the orthonormal basis. Under the assumption that on the unit sphere and on its intersection with the half-space, respectively, we prove two main results. First, for the domain , the velocity field must be a Landau solution and the magnetic field . Second, in the half-space with either the no-slip or Navier slip boundary condition, we establish that all such axisymmetric self-similar solutions are trivial, i.\,e., .
