Explanation
The Magnetic Prandtl Number, calculated from the Reynolds Number, measures the interaction of magnetic fields and fluids. It is a ratio between a fluid's momentum and magnetic diffusivity and is significant for its use in fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics.
The magnetic Prandtl Number can be calculated using the equation below. Since the Reynolds Number and the Magnetic Reynolds Number do not have any units, the Magnetic Prandtl Number is also dimensionless.
Prm=ReRem
Where:
Prm
is the Magnetic Prandtl Number
