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 equation are established in weighted Conormal Sobolev spaces by energy method. As a byproduct, the local-in-time well-posedness of homogeneous incompressible MHD boundary layer equations with any large initial data can be obtained.
