Spontaneous Geometric Structures in 2D MHD Flows
Abstract
Under suitable spatial decay assumptions on the initial data, we establish precise asymptotic expansions of the velocity and magnetic fields for two-dimensional incompressible MHD flows at each positive time. We identify in the far-field profile the hexagonal pattern previously discovered for the 2D Navier-Stokes equations by L. Brandolese \cite{Bra22}, characterized by six equally spaced directions of faster decay for each component of u(x,t)−u0(x). Surprisingly, the corresponding contribution to the magnetic field vanishes identically, owing to an exact cancellation associated with the antisymmetric structure of the magnetic nonlinearity. Thus, at order |x|−3, the hexagonal structure appears only in the velocity field.
