From Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann system to two-fluid incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Maxwell system with Ohm's law: convergence for classical solutions

Abstract

For the two-species Vlasov-Maxwell-Boltzmann (VMB) system with the scaling under which the moments of the fluctuations to the global Maxwellians formally converge to the two-fluid incompressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier-Maxwell (NSFM) system with Ohm's law, we prove the uniform estimates with respect to Knudsen number for the fluctuations. As consequences, the existence of the global in time classical solutions of VMB with all ∈ (0,1] is established. Furthermore, the convergence of the fluctuations of the solutions of VMB to the classical solutions of NSFM with Ohm's law is rigorously justified. This limit was justified in the recent breakthrough of Arsénio and Saint-Raymond Arsenio-SRM-2016 from renormalized solutions of VMB to dissipative solutions of incompressible viscous electro-magneto-hydrodynamics under the corresponding scaling. In this sense, our result gives a classical solution analogue of the corresponding limit in Arsenio-SRM-2016.
