Abstract

In this paper we establish some new regularity criteria for the three dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations. Particularly, we prove that if $\nabla u_3$ and the horizontal magnetic field $b_h = (b_1, b_2)$ satisfy certain integrable conditions with respect to space and time variables in Lebesgue spaces, then a weak solution $(u, b)$ is actually regular. Moreover, we obtain a regularity criterion in the framework of scaling invariance.
