Rigorous derivation of magneto-Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation with non-local temperature term (2504.13525v1)

Abstract: We consider a general compressible, viscous, heat and magnetically conducting fluid described by the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier system coupled with induction equation. In particular, we do not assume conservative boundary conditions for the temperature and allow heating or cooling on the surface of the domain. We are interested in the mathematical analysis when the Mach, Froude, and Alfv\'en numbers are small, converging to zero at a specific rate. We give a rigorous mathematical justification that in the limit, in case of low stratification, one obtains a modified Oberbeck-Boussinesq-MHD system with a non-local term or a non-local boundary condition for the temperature deviation. Choosing a domain confined between parallel plates, one finds also that the flow is horizontal, and the magnetic field is perpendicular to it. The proof is based on the analysis of weak solutions to a primitive system and the relative entropy method.
