This paper proves a Serrin’s type blow-up criterion for the 3D density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations with vacuum. It is shown that if the density $\rho$ and velocity field $u$ satisfy ${\parallel \nabla \rho \parallel }_{L^{\infty }(0,T;W^{1,q})}+{\parallel u\parallel }_{L^s(0,T;L_{\omega }^r)}<\infty$ for some $q>3$ and any $(r,s)$ satisfying $2/s+3/r\le 1$, $3<r\le \infty ,$ then the strong solutions to the density-dependent Navier-Stokes-Korteweg equations can exist globally over $[0,T]$. Here $L_{\omega }^r$ denotes the weak $L^r$ space.

This paper is concerned with a Cauchy problem for the three-dimensional (3D) nonhomogeneous incompressible heat conducting magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in the whole space. First of all, we establish a weak Serrin-type blowup criterion for strong solutions. It is shown that for the Cauchy problem of the 3D nonhomogeneous heat conducting MHD equations, the strong solution exists globally if the velocity satisfies the weak Serrin's condition. In particular, this criterion is independent of the...
