Abstract

In this paper, we consider the 3D density-dependent magnetohydrodynamic equations with vacuum in the whole space \(\mathbb {R}^{3}\), and provide a regularity criterion involving the velocity field in BMO space norm. This work generalizes the regularity criterion of the constant density MHD equations to the density-dependent one.
