Abstract
Equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in the natural curvilinear system of coordinates where trajectories and magnetic lines play a role of coordinate curves are reduced to the non-linear vector wave equation coupled with the incompressibility condition in the form of the generalized Cauchy integral. The symmetry group of obtained equation, equivalence transformation, and group classification with respect to the constitutive equation are calculated. New exact solutions with functional arbitrariness describing non-stationary incompressible flows with constant total pressure are given by explicit formulae. The corresponding magnetic surfaces have the shape of deformed nested cylinders, tori, or knotted tubes.
