We report on the controlled transport of drops of magnetic liquid, which are swimming on top of a non-magnetic liquid layer. A magnetic field which is rotating in a vertical plane creates a torque on the drop. Due to surface stresses within…
A new kind of contactless pumping mechanism is realized in a layer of ferrofluid via a spatio-temporally modulated magnetic field. The resulting pressure gradient leads to a liquid ramp, which is measured by means of X-rays. The transport…
Effective mixing of fluids at the microfluidic scale is important for future applications in biology, medicine, and chemistry. A promising type of micromixers are magnetic filaments, which can be activated by an external magnetic field.…
We study the pumping of magnetic flux in three-dimensional compressible magnetoconvection in the context of stellar dynamos. The simulation domain represents a rectangular section from the lower part of a stellar convection zone plus the…
Initial results from the Madison Dynamo Experiment provide details of the inductive response of a turbulent flow of liquid sodium to an applied magnetic field. The magnetic field structure is reconstructed from both internal and external…
The magnetic field measured in the Madison Dynamo Experiment shows intermittent periods of growth when an axial magnetic field is applied. The geometry of the intermittent field is consistent with the fastest growing magnetic eigenmode…
We observe the dynamics of waves propagating on the surface of a ferrofluid under the influence of a spatially and temporarily modulated field. In particular, we excite plane waves by a travelling lamellar modulation of the magnetization.…
The flow of an electrically conducting fluid driven by a traveling magnetic field imposed at the endcaps of a cylindrical annulus is numerically studied. At sufficiently large magnetic Reynolds number, the system undergoes a transition from…
Motivated by the significant interaction of convection, rotation and magnetic field in many astrophysical objects, we investigate the interplay between large-scale flows driven by rotating convection and an imposed magnetic field. We…
A two-dimensional flow in a 90 degree bent channel is considered. A magnetic field is uniform and parallel to inlet branch of the channel. A spectral/hp element method was used for liquid motion calculations. Three types of steady flows…
Of concern in this paper is an investigation of peristaltic transport of a physiological fluid in an asymmetric channel under long wave length and low-Reynolds number assumptions. The flow is assumed to be incompressible, viscous,…
The magnetic field of planets or stars is generated by the motion of a conducting fluid through a dynamo instability. The saturation of the magnetic field occurs through the reaction of the Lorentz force on the flow. In relation to this…
We report on the response of a thin layer of ferrofluid to a spatially modulated magnetic field. This field is generated by means of a constant current in a special arrangement of aluminum wires. The full surface profile of the liquid layer…
A one-dimensional multi-phase flow model for thermomagnetically pumped ferrofluid with heat transfer is proposed. The thermodynamic model is a combination of a simplified particle model and thermodynamic equations of state for the base…
In a magnetic fluid parametrically driven surface waves can be excited by an external oscillating magnetic field. A static magnetic field changes the restoring forces and damping coefficients of the various surface waves. This property…
We report the observation of wave turbulence on the surface of a ferrofluid mechanically forced and submitted to a static normal magnetic field. We show that magnetic surface waves arise only above a critical field. The power spectrum of…
The viscosity of ferrofluid has an important role in liquid sealing of the hard disk drives, biomedical applications as drug delivery, hyperthermia, and magnetic resonance imaging. In the absence of a magnetic field, the viscosity of…
The feasibility of using a thermomagnetically pumped ferrofluid to enhance the performance of a natural convection cooling loop is investigated. First, a simplified analytical estimate for the thermomagnetic pumping action is derived, and…
Ferrofluids, composed of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a non-magnetic carrier liquid, have attracted considerable attention since their discovery in the 1960s. Their combination of liquid and magnetic properties gives rise to complex…
Using different analytical methods (the quasi-linear approach, the path-integral technique and tau-relaxation approximation) we develop a comprehensive mean-field theory for a pumping effect of the mean magnetic field in homogeneous…
