magnetic reynolds number
1Magnetic Reynolds number — The Magnetic Reynolds number is a dimensionless group that occurs in magnetohydrodynamics. It gives an estimate of the effects of magnetic advection to magnetic diffusion, and is typically defined by: where U is a typical velocity scale of the… …
2magnetic Reynolds number — ▪ physics combination of quantities that indicates the dynamic behaviour of a plasma. This number is analogous to the Reynolds number of ordinary fluid mechanics, which is used to determine whether or not a fluid flow will smooth out or… …
3Magnetic Prandtl number — The Magnetic Prandtl number is a dimensionless quantity occurring in magnetohydrodynamics which approximates the ratio of momentum diffusivity (viscosity) and magnetic diffusivity. It is defined as: where: Rem is the magnetic Reynolds number Re… …
4Magnetic diffusivity — The magnetic diffusivity is a parameter in plasma physics. It appears in the Magnetic Reynolds number. The magnetic diffusivity is defined as[1]: . μ0 is the permeability of free space. is the plasma conductivity due to Coulomb or neutral… …

7Nusselt number — In heat transfer at a boundary (surface) within a fluid, the Nusselt number is the ratio of convective to conductive heat transfer across (normal to) the boundary. Named after Wilhelm Nusselt, it is a dimensionless number. The conductive… …
8Stanton number — The Stanton number, St or CH, is a dimensionless number that measures the ratio of heat transferred into a fluid to the thermal capacity of fluid. It is used to characterize heat transfer in forced convection flows. where h = convection heat… …
9Dean number — The Dean number is a dimensionless group in fluid mechanics, which occurs in the study of flow in curved pipes and channels. It is named after the British scientist W. R. Dean, who studied such flows in the 1920s (Dean, 1927, 1928). Definition… …
10Rayleigh number — In fluid mechanics, the Rayleigh number for a fluid is a dimensionless number associated with buoyancy driven flow (also known as free convection or natural convection). When the Rayleigh number is below the critical value for that fluid, heat… …
