The governing equations and the boundary conditions of steady incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) problems are adapted to the case of steady MHD flow in simply connected cross sections with arbitrary wall conductance. The problem is then solved numerically by means of the finite element method based on the weighted residual approach, and solutions for industrially relevant Hartmann numbers and non‐symmetric kinetic fields are presented.
