Abstract

We investigate initial-boundary-value problem for three dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system of compressible viscous heat-conductive flows and the three-dimensional full compressible Navier-Stokes equations. We establish a blowup criterion only in terms of the derivative of velocity field, similar to the Beale-Kato-Majda type criterion for compressible viscous barotropic flows by Huang et al. (2011). The results indicate that the nature of the blowup for compressible MHD models of viscous media is similar to the barotropic compressible Navier-Stokes equations and does not depend on further sophistication of the MHD model, in particular, it is independent of the temperature and magnetic field. It also reveals that the deformation tensor of the velocity field plays a more dominant role than the electromagnetic field and the temperature in regularity theory. Especially, the similar results also hold for compressible viscous heat-conductive Navier-Stokes flows, which extend the results established by Fan et al. (2010), and Huang and Li (2009). In addition, the viscous coefficients are only restricted by the physical conditions in this paper.
