We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the one-dimensional equations of compressible isentropic magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. The non-resistive limit of the global solutions with large data is justified. As a by-product, the global well-posedness of the compressible non-resistive MHD equations is established. Moreover, the thickness of the magnetic boundary-layer of the value with is proved, where is the resistivity coefficient. The proofs of these results are based on a full use of the so-called 'effective viscous flux', the material derivative and the structure of the equations.

This paper concerns the asymptotic behavior of the solution to an initial-boundary value problem of the cylindrically symmetric Navier–Stokes equations with large data for compressible heat-conducting ideal fluids, as the shear viscosity μ goes to zero. A suitable corrector function (the so-called boundary-layer type function) is constructed to eliminate the disparity of boundary values. As by-products, the convergence rates of the derivatives in L 2 are obtained and the boundary-layer thickness (BL-thickness) of the value with is shown by an alternative method, compared with the results proved in Jiang and Zhang (2009 SIAM J. Math. Anal. 41 237–68) and Qin et al (2015 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 216 1049–86).
