Abstract
In this paper, we consider the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of an incompressible Phan-Thien–Tanner (PTT) fluid in two space dimensions. We focus upon the sharp time decay rates (upper and lower bounds) and global-in-time stability of large strong solutions for the PTT system with magnetic field. Firstly, the convergence of large solutions to the equilibrium have been investigated and these convergence rates are shown to be sharp. We then show that two large solutions converge globally in time as long as two initial data are close to each other. One of the main objectives of this paper is to develop a way to capture
