Abstract

We address a threshold problem of the Couette flow (y,0)(y,0) in a uniform magnetic field (β,0)(\beta,0) for the 2D MHD equation on T×R\mathbb{T}\times\mathbb{R} with fluid viscosity ν\nu and magnetic resistivity μ\mu. The nonlinear enhanced dissipation and inviscid damping are also established. In particularly, when 0<νμ310<\nu\leq\mu^3\leq1, we get a threshold ν12μ13\nu^{\frac{1}{2}}\mu^{\frac{1}{3}} in HN(N4)H^N(N\geq4). When 0<μ3ν10<\mu^3\leq\nu\leq1, we obtain a threshold min{ν12,μ12}min{1,ν1μ13}\min\{\nu^{\frac{1}{2}},\mu^{\frac{1}{2}}\}\min\{1,\nu^{-1}\mu^{\frac{1}{3}}\}, hence improving the results in [19,14,21].
