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]
