Magnetorheology for suspensions of solid particles dispersed in ferrofluids
2006
In this work, the magnetorheological properties of suspensions of micron-sized iron particles dispersed in magnetite ferrofluids were studied. With this aim, the flow properties of the suspensions in the steady-state regime were investigated using a commercial magnetorheometer with a parallel-plate measuring cell. The effect of both magnetite and iron concentration on the magnitude of the yield stress was studied for a broad range of magnetic fields. In addition, the experimental values of the yield stress were compared with the predictions from the chain model. With this purpose the values of the yield stress were obtained by means of finite element calculations. Interestingly, it was foun…
Kinetics of doublet formation in bicomponent magnetic suspensions: The role of the magnetic permeability anisotropy
2017
Micron-sized particles (microbeads) dispersed in a suspension of magnetic nanoparticles, i.e., ferrofluids, can be assembled into different types of structures upon application of an externalmagnetic field. This paper is devoted to theoretical modeling of a relative motion of a pair of microbeads (either soft ferromagnetic or diamagnetic) in the ferrofluid under the action of applied uniform magnetic field which induces magnetic moments in the microbeads making them attracting to each other. The model is based on a point-dipole approximation for the magnetic interactions between microbeads mediated by the ferrofluid; however, the ferrofluid is considered to possess an anisotropic magnetic p…
On the mechanics of magnetic fluids with field-induced phase transition: application to Couette flow
2018
The influence of Brownian diffusion and magnetophoresis, which are followed by phase transition, on the characteristics of a stationary plane Couette flow of magnetic fluid in a non-uniform magnetic field is discussed. The phase transition conditions in magnetic fluids are assumed as a natural restriction to the particle concentration increase in a non-uniform magnetic field. Profiles of the particles' concentration are calculated, and dependences of the volume magnetic force and of the viscous force are established. © 2018 Institute of Physics, University of Latvia.
