Global finite-energy weak solutions to the Navier--Stokes--Maxwell in 1D
Abstract
We construct global finite-energy weak solutions for a 1D barotropic Navier--Stokes--Maxwell system with displacement current and the algebraic Ohm law. The result holds for every \(γ>1\) and arbitrary finite-energy initial data, allowing vacuum and requiring only \(L^2\) initial electromagnetic fields. A key ingredient is a weak-to-strong compactness principle for the Maxwell--Ohm subsystem: weak convergence of the velocity coefficients in \(L^2_tH^1_x\), together with strong convergence of the initial fields, yields strong electromagnetic trajectories in \(C_tL^2_x\). This permits identification of the weak current and the distributional Lorentz force without strong convergence of the velocity. The electromagnetic closure is combined with the classical artificial-viscosity and artificial-pressure construction for compressible flow. A density-primitive effective-flux argument identifies the physical pressure and eliminates the physical and artificial pressure-concentration defects.
