Resistive magnetohydrodynamics
= Resistive magnetohydrodynamics
= Resistive MHD
{c}
{synonym}
Resistive magnetohydrodynamics retains finite <magnetic diffusivity> in the coupled evolution of a conducting fluid and its <magnetic field>. The <resistive induction equation> allows field diffusion relative to the fluid, while the <magnetohydrodynamic momentum equation> includes the <Lorentz force density>. It contrasts with the zero-diffusivity limit of <ideal magnetohydrodynamics>.
