Elongation of confined ferrofluid droplets under applied fields.
Ferrofluids are strongly paramagnetic liquids. We study the behavior of ferrofluid droplets confined between two parallel plates with a weak applied field parallel to the plates. The droplets elongate under the applied field to reduce their demagnetizing energy and reach an equilibrium shape where the magnetic forces balance against the surface tension. This elongation varies logarithmically wi...
متن کاملConfined ferrofluid droplet in crossed magnetic fields.
When a ferrofluid drop is trapped in a horizontal Hele-Shaw cell and subjected to a vertical magnetic field, a fingering instability results in the droplet evolving into a complex branched structure. This fingering instability depends on the magnetic field ramp rate but also depends critically on the initial state of the droplet. Small perturbations in the initial droplet can have a large influ...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Ferrofluid Droplets in Magnetic Fields
Abstract. The motion and shape of a ferrofluid droplet placed in a non-magnetic viscous fluid and driven by a magnetic field are modeled numerically. The governing equations are the Maxwell equations, momentum equation and incompressibility. The numerical simulation uses a volume-of-fluid algorithm with a continuum-surface-force formulation for an axisymmetric geometry. The deformations in the ...
متن کاملDynamics of ferrofluid drop deformations under spatially uniform magnetic fields
We systematically study the shape and dynamics of a Newtonian ferrofluid drop immersed in an immiscible, Newtonian and non-magnetic viscous fluid under the action of a uniform external magnetic field. We obtain the exact equilibrium drop shapes for arbitrary ferrofluids, characterize the extent of deviations of the exact shape from the commonly assumed ellipsoidal shape, and analyse the smoothn...
متن کاملOscillating Ferrofluid Droplet Microrheology of Liquid-Immersed Sessile Droplets.
The damped oscillations of liquid-immersed ferrofluid sessile droplets were studied with high-speed imaging experiments and analytical modeling to develop a novel microrheology technique. Droplet oscillations were induced with an external magnetic field, thereby avoiding transients in the resulting vibrational response of the droplet. By following the droplet relaxation with a high-speed camera...
