Abstract

We study the Cauchy problem for the 2D incompressible MHD-Boussinesq equations without thermal diffusion. We prove the global existence and uniqueness of the solutions for suitably regular initial data. To obtain large time decay properties of the solutions, we insert an artificial thermal damping term. By applying the classical Fourier splitting methods, we derive optimal large time decay rates of the solutions and their first-order derivatives.

Keywords
