Abstract

In this paper, we consider a steady MHD fluid model of non-Newtonian type in a smooth bounded domain \(\Omega \in {\mathbb {R}}^3\). Using the iterative method, under the condition that the external force is small in a suitable sense, we proved the existence of \(C^{1,\gamma }({\bar{\Omega }})\times W^{2,r}(\Omega )\) solutions of the systems for the exponent \(1<p<2\) and we show that this solution is unique in case \(\frac{6}{5}<p<2\). Moreover, we also proved the higher regularity properties of this solution.
