Boundary layer problems for the two-dimensional inhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of boundary layer problems for the inhomogeneous incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations, which are derived from the two-dimensional density-dependent incompressible MHD equations. Under the assumption that initial tangential magnetic field is not zero and density is a small perturbation of the outer constant flow in supernorm, the local-in-time existence and uniqueness of inhomogeneous incompressible MHD boundary layer equations are established in weighted conormal Sobolev space by energy method.
