We present a two-dimensional coupled system for particles and compressible conducting fluid in an electromagnetic field interactions, which the kinetic Vlasov-Fokker-Planck model for particle part and the isentropic compressible MHD equations for the fluid part, respectively, and these separate systems are coupled with the drag force. For this specific coupled system, a sufficient framework for the global existence of classical solutions with large initial data which may contain vacuum is established.

The copula-entropy theory combines the entropy theory and the copula theory. The entropy theory has been extensively applied to derive the most probable univariate distribution subject to specified constraints by applying the principle of maximum entropy. With the flexibility to model nonlinear dependence structure, parametric copulas (e.g., Archimedean, extreme value, meta-elliptical, etc.) have been applied to multivariate modeling in water engineering. This study evaluates the copula-entropy theory using a sample dataset with known population information and a flood dataset from the experimental watershed at the Walnut Gulch, Arizona. The study finds the following: (1) both univariate and joint distributions can be derived using the entropy theory. (2) The parametric copula fits the true copula better using empirical marginals than using fitted parametric/entropy-based marginals. This suggests that marginals and copula may be identified separately in which the copula is investigated with empirical marginals. (3) For a given set of constraints, the most entropic canonical copula (MECC) is unique and independent of the marginals. This allows the universal solution for the proposed analysis. (4) The MECC successfully models the joint distribution of bivariate random variables. (5) Using the "AND" case return period analysis as an example, the derived MECC captures the change of return period resulting from different marginals.
