Abstract
We investigate the problem of the existence of regular solutions to the three-dimensional MHD equations in cylindrical domains with perfectly conducting boundaries and under the Navier boundary conditions for the velocity field. We show that if the initial and external data do not change too rapidly along the axis of the cylinder, then there exists a unique regular solution for any finite time.
