Effects of the magnetodipolar interactions in the alternating magnetic fields
1999
A macroscopic theory for the description of the structure formation in a system of magnetic dipoles under the action of a high-frequency rotating field is presented. Continuum equations for the effective magnetic field strength describing particle interactions are derived. It is shown that, contrary to the case of a constant magnetic field, where the demagnetizing field arising from a concentration fluctuation stabilizes the system with respect to the phase separation, the same concentration fluctuation will be amplified in the case of a rotating magnetic field, leading to the formation of a layered structure. The extensions of the model necessary for the description of the formation of the…

Hydrodynamic synchronization of pairs of puller type magnetotactic bacteria in a high frequency rotating magnetic field.
2019
Ensembles of magnetotactic bacteria are known to interact hydrodynamically and form swarms under the influence of external magnetic fields. We describe the synchronization of puller type magnetotactic bacteria in a rotating magnetic field by representing the bacteria as hydrodynamic force dipoles. Numerical simulations show that at moderate values of the hydrodynamic interaction parameter large ensembles of asynchronously rotating bacteria randomly eject propagating doublets of synchronized bacteria. We quantitatively analyze the dynamics of the doublets and show that an important role in the formation of these propagating structures is played by the parameters characterizing the possible t…
Semi-global simulations of the magneto-rotational instability in core collapse supernovae
2009
Possible effects of magnetic fields in core collapse supernovae rely on an efficient amplification of the weak pre-collapse fields. It has been suggested that the magneto-rotational instability (MRI) leads to rapid field growth. Although MRI studies exist for accretion discs, the application of their results to core collapse supernovae is inhibited as the physics of supernova cores is substantially different from that of accretion discs. We address the problem of growth and saturation of the MRI by means of semi-global simulations, which combine elements of global and local simulations by taking the presence of global background gradients into account and using a local computational grid.

Legri Background. Short Term Variability
2001
Background modelling for LEO satellites with high orbital inclination is not an easy task. The diffuse background component is dominated by the background coming from strong interactions with Earth magnetosphere trapped particles. Magnetic shielding is variable along the orbits and crosses through the SAA induce high radioactivity decay counting ratios. The aim of this paper is to present a model for the background total counting ratio of the 17 operative CdZnTe detectors on LEGRI in the short time scales and for observing periods outside crosses through SAA having enough time to cool LEGRI after the last SAA transit. Fluxes measured have been modelled in terms of the Mcllwain parameter L u…
Instabilities of concentration stripe patterns in ferrocolloids
1999
Equations describing the kinetics of the phase separation in ferrocolloids in a Hele-Shaw cell under the action of a rotating magnetic field are proposed. Numerical simulation on the basis of a pseudospectral technique demonstrates that upon the action of a rotating field on a magnetic colloid which undergoes the phase separation a periodical system of stripes parallel to the plane of a rotating magnetic field stripes is created. The period of a structure found numerically satisfactorily corresponds to the one calculated on the basis of the energy minimum. Thus, the undulation instability leading to the formation of chevron structures takes place if the tangential component of a rotating ma…
Dynamics of an active magnetic particle in a rotating magnetic field.
2006
The motion of an active (self-propelling) particle with a permanent magnetic moment under the action of a rotating magnetic field is considered. We show that below a critical frequency of the external field the trajectory of a particle is a circle. For frequencies slightly above the critical point the particle moves on an approximately circular trajectory and from time to time jumps to another region of space. Symmetry of the particle trajectory depends on the commensurability of the field period and the period of the orientational motion of the particle. We also show how our results can be used to study the properties of naturally occurring active magnetic particles, so-called magnetotacti…
Diffusion of magnetotactic bacterium in rotating magnetic field
2011
Swimming trajectory of a magnetotactic bacterium in a rotating magnetic field is a circle. Random reversals of the direction of the bacterium motion induces a random walk of the curvature center of the trajectory. In assumption of the distribution of the switching events according to the Poisson process the diffusion coefficient is calculated in dependence on the frequency of the rotating field and the characteristic time between the switching events. It is confirmed by the numerical simulation of the random walk of the bacterium in the rotating magnetic field.
Magnetic micro-droplet in rotating field: numerical simulation and comparison with experiment
2017
Magnetic droplets obtained by induced phase separation in a magnetic colloid show a large variety of shapes when exposed to an external field. However, the description of shapes is often limited. Here we formulate an algorithm based on three dimensional boundary-integral equations for strongly magnetic droplets in a high-frequency rotating magnetic field, allowing us to find their figures of equilibrium in three dimensions. The algorithm is justified by a series of comparisons with known analytical results. We compare the calculated equilibrium shapes with experimental observations and find a good agreement. The main features of these observations are the oblate-prolate transition, the flat…
