On the Vanishing of some D-solutions to the Stationary Magnetohydrodynamics System

Abstract

In this paper, we study the stationary magnetohydrodynamics system in ${\mathbb{R}}^2\times \mathbb{T}$. We prove trivialness of D-solutions (the velocity field $u$ and the magnetic field $h$) when they are swirl-free. Meanwhile, this Liouville type theorem also holds provided $u$ is swirl-free and $h$ is axially symmetric, or both $u$ and $h$ are axially symmetric. Our method is also valid for certain related boundary value problems in the slab ${\mathbb{R}}^2\times [-\pi ,\pi ]$.
