Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the regularity criteria of axisymmetric solutions to the incompressible MHD equations, which have the form $u = u_r e_r + u_\theta e_\theta + u_z e_z$ and $b = b_\theta e_\theta$. Through establishing some innovative estimates, we obtain some new regularity criteria that are scaling invariant and independent of $b_\theta$. To some extent, our work can be seen as a generation of the result by D. Chae and J. Lee on the axisymmetric incompressible Navier–Stokes equations.
