Physics:Hartmann number
From HandWiki
The Hartmann number (Ha) is the ratio of electromagnetic force to the viscous force, first introduced by Julius Hartmann (1881 – 1951) of Denmark.[1][2] It is frequently encountered in fluid flows through magnetic fields.[3] It is defined by:
- [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{Ha} = B L\sqrt{\frac{\sigma} {\mu}} }[/math]
where
- B is the magnetic field intensity
- L is the characteristic length scale
- σ is the electrical conductivity
- μ is the dynamic viscosity
