In this paper, we study the 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. We extend the well-known Serrin's blow-up criterion(see [32]) for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations to the 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations. In addition, initial vacuum is allowed in our case.
Keywords: strong solutions, 3D compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations., Blow-up criterion.
