Longtime dynamics of a conductive fluid in the presence of a strong magnetic field. (English) Zbl 0696.35134

Summary: We prove the existence in the large of localized solutions to the MHD equations for an ideal conducting fluid subject to a strong magnetic field. We show that, for large time, the dynamics may reduce to linear Alfven waves.
