Abstract

In this paper, we study the three-dimensional axisymmetric incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations with nonzero swirl. By using symmetric properties of the Riesz transform and Hardy–Sobolev inequalities, we establish some new weighted regularity criteria via partial components of velocity and magnetic fields.
