In a thin magnetic skin layer next to a rigid no-slip boundary condition, vertical pressure balance gives . With negligible inertia in the layer, the tangential Stokes flow balance is . Matching zero leading shear outside the layer gives and the displayed effective tangential slip. The physical wall still has zero velocity; the slip is a boundary condition for the outer flow extrapolated through the unresolved layer. It points toward larger squared boundary-field amplitude.
