Plasma physics

dimensionless ratio of magnetic field advection to magnetic diffusion in a conducting fluid, deciding whether field lines are carried by the flow.

In plasma physics, magnetic Reynolds number refers to dimensionless ratio of magnetic field advection to magnetic diffusion in a conducting fluid, deciding whether field lines are carried by the flow. This meaning comes from Elsasser (1956) in Reviews of Modern Physics.[1]
