The Galerkin boundary node method for magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equation

In this research, a variational reformulation for magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) problem is derived. Existence and uniqueness of the weak solution are discussed. The Galerkin boundary node method is a boundary meshless method which uses MLS basis functions to approximate solution of problems. This paper tries to apply this method for a variational form of the magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) problem. Numerical experiments reveal that the method is effective and convenient for this problem.
