Mathematical Theory of Compressible Magnetohydrodynamics Driven by Non-conservative Boundary Conditions

Abstract

We propose a new concept of weak solution to the equations of compressible magnetohydrodynamics driven by ihomogeneous boundary data. The system of the underlying field equations is solvable globally in time in the out of equilibrium regime characteristic for turbulence. The weak solutions comply with the weak–strong uniqueness principle; they coincide with the classical solution of the problem as long as the latter exists. The choice of constitutive relations is motivated by applications in stellar magnetoconvection.
