Resistive skin time

Resistive skin time

The resistive skin time is a characteristic time of typical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomena.

Definition

The resistive skin time is defined as: au_R=frac{mu_0 a^2}{eta}where eta is the resistivity, a is a typical radius of the device and mu_0 is the magnetic permeability.
