Dynamics of Magnetic Fluid Cylinder in Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field

Abstract

Abstract The dynamics of some magnetic fluid (MF) samples of various concentrations filling the tube horizontally and held by a field of a magnetic axial system made based on unipolar permanent rare-earth ring magnets were studied. The magnetic field of an “axial” magnetic system of MSO was studied, as well as the dependence of the system oscillation frequency on the length of the MF cylinder. An original method for determining MF magnetization is proposed and applied to the obtained data. Magnetization was determined for three magnetic fluid samples. The results obtained by the developed method are comparable to the magnetization values obtained by the ballistic method. The developed and presented technique of a dynamic experiment with measuring oscillations frequency of the “MF column suspended in a strong and inhomogeneous magnetic field” system involves the creation of a new absolute method for determining saturation magnetization and can be useful for studying magnetophoresis and aggregation processes of magnetic nanoparticles. This technique is used to study the degree of elastomagnetic consistency parameters over time.
