Abstract

In this paper, we study global well-posedness of the three-dimensional MHD-Boussinesq equations. The global existence of axisymmetric strong solutions to the MHD-Boussinesq equations in the presence of magnetic diffusion is shown by providing some smallness conditions only on the swirl component of velocity. As a by-product, long-time asymptotic behaviors are also presented.
