In this paper, we considered the global strong solution to the 3D incompressible micropolar equations with fractional partial dissipation. Whether or not the classical solution to the 3D Navier–Stokes equations can develop finite-time singularity remains an outstanding open problem, so does the same issue on the 3D incompressible micropolar equations. We establish the global-in-time existence and uniqueness strong solutions to the 3D incompressible micropolar equations with fractional partial velocity dissipation and microrotation diffusion with the initial data $(\mathbf {u}_0,\ \mathbf {w}_0)\in H^1(\mathbb {R}^3)$.

This paper focuses on a 2D magnetohydrodynamic system with only horizontal dissipation in the domain $\Omega = \mathbb {T}\times \mathbb {R}$ with $\mathbb {T}=[0,\,1]$ being a periodic box. The goal here is to understand the stability problem on perturbations near the background magnetic field $(1,\,0)$. Due to the lack of vertical dissipation, this stability problem is difficult. This paper solves the desired stability problem by simultaneously exploiting two smoothing and stabilizing mechanisms: the enhanced dissipation due to the coupling between the velocity and the magnetic fields, and the strong Poincaré type inequalities for the oscillation part of the solution, namely the difference between the solution and its horizontal average. In addition, the oscillation part of the solution is shown to converge exponentially to zero in $H^{1}$ as $t\to \infty$. As a consequence, the solution converges to its horizontal average asymptotically.

This paper is concerned with the global regularity problem on the micropolar Rayleigh-Bénard problem with only velocity dissipation in $\mathbb {R}^{d}$ with $d=2\ or\ 3$. By fully exploiting the special structure of the system, introducing two combined quantities and using the technique of Littlewood-Paley decomposition, we establish the global regularity of solutions to this system in $\mathbb {R}^{2}$. Moreover, we obtain the global regularity for fractional hyperviscosity case in $\mathbb {R}^{3}$ by employing various techniques including energy methods, the regularization of generalized heat operators on the Fourier frequency localized functions and logarithmic Sobolev interpolation inequalities.
