The Magnetic Reynolds number (Rm) is a dimensionless quantity used in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), which studies the behavior of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. It characterizes the relative importance of advection of the magnetic field by the fluid flow to the diffusion of the magnetic field due to electrical resistivity.
