Title: Flow in isothermal layers of ferrofluid by action of uniform rotating magnetic field

Journal Article · · Magnetohydrodynamics (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
OSTI ID:5264181

The author attempts to determine how intense the flow of a ferrofluid in a rotating magnetic field can become owing to the temperature dependence of the properties when a nonuniform temperature field has been produced within the volume of such a fluid. It was found that in a channel with a strong temperature dependence of viscosity, a uniform rotating magnetic field is capable of effectively influencing the flow of a ferrofluid within nonisothermal layers, which may be of interest in solving problems of heat transfer.
