Abstract: In this paper, we study the energy equality for weak solutions to the non-resistive MHD equations with physical boundaries. Although the equations of magnetic field $b$ are of hyperbolic type, and the boundary effects are considered, we still prove the global energy equality provided that $uin{L}_{loc}^{q}left(0,T;L^p(Omega)ight)extforanyfrac1q+frac1pleqfrac12,extwithpgeq4,extandbin{L}_{loc}^{r}left(0,T;L^s(Omega)ight)extforanyfrac1r+frac1sleqfrac12,extwithsgeq4$. In particular, compared with the existed results, we do not require any boundary layer assumptions and additional conditions on the pressure $P$. Our result requires the regularity of boundary $partialOmega$ is only Lipschitz which is the minimum requirement to make the boundary condition $bcdotn$ sense. The proof is based on the important properties of weak solutions of the nonstationary Stokes system and the separate mollification of weak solutions from the boundary effect by considering a non-standard local energy equality and transform the boundary effects into the estimates of the gradient of cut-off functions.
