The usage of nonlinear Galerkin methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations is demonstrated by treating an example. We describe the implementation of a nonlinear Galerkin method based on an approximate inertial manifold for the 3D magnetohydrodynamic equations and compare its efficiency with the linear Galerkin approximation. Special bifurcation points, time-averaged values of energy and enstrophy as well as Kaplan–Yorke dimensions are calculated for both schemes in order to estimate the number of modes necessary to correctly describe the behavior of the exact solutions.

Some exact solutions of the steady magnetohydrodynamic equations for a perfectly conducting inviscid self-gravitating incompressible fluid are discussed. It is shown that there exist solutions for which the free surface of the liquid is that of a planetary ellipsoid and rotates with constant angular velocity about its axis. The stability of the equilibrium configuration is not investigated.

The objective of this paper is to study the propagation of nonlinear, quasi-parallel, magnetohydrodynamic waves of small-amplitude in a cold Hall plasma of constant density. Magnetohydrodynamic equations, along with the cold plasma were expanded using the reductive perturbation method, which leads to a nonlinear partial differential equation that complies with a modified form of the derivative nonlinear evolution Schrödinger equation. Exact solutions of the turbulent magnetohydrodynamic model in plasma were formulated for the physical quantities that describe the problem completely by using the complex ansatz method. In addition, the complete set of equations was used taking into account the magnetic field, which can be considered to be constant in the x-direction to create stable vortex waves. Vortex solutions of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equation (MNLS) were compared with the solutions of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. The obtained equations differ from the standard NLS equation by one additional term that describes the interaction of the nonlinear waves with the constant density. The behavior of both the velocity profile and the waveform of pressure were studied. The results showed that there are clear disturbances in the identity of the velocity and thus pressure. The identity of both velocity and pressure results from that a magnetic field is formed.
