Abstract
Local existence of solutions is proved for equations describing the motion of a magnetohydrodynamic incompressible fluid in a domain bounded by a free surface. In the exterior domain we have an electromagnetic field which is generated by some currents located on a fixed boundary. First by the Galerkin method and regularization techniques the existence of solutions of the linarized equations is proved; next by the method of successive aproximations the local existence is shown for the nonlinear problem.
