Experimental and numerical study of flexible ferromagnetic filaments reveal different regimes, when subjected to a 2D rotating field. The filaments were found to have a 3D motion at higher frequencies.

AbstractThe dynamics of free and forced inertial waves inside cylinders of different aspect ratios ($\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}A=H_0/2R_0$) were investigated experimentally in this study. The liquid metal GaInSn was chosen as the fluid in order to enable a contactless stimulation of the flow by means of alternating electromagnetic fields. A rotating magnetic field generates the rotating motion of the liquid, whereas periodic modulations of the field strength and short pulses excite specific wave modes. Ultrasound Doppler velocimetry was used to record the flow structure and to identify inertial waves in the set-up. Our experiments demonstrate selective excitation of different inertial wave modes by deliberate variation of the magnetic field parameters. Furthermore, it was found that turbulent perturbations in the boundary layers of the swirling flow are able to induce an inertial wave mode that survives over a long time. Experiments at the fundamental resonance have shown that multiple harmonic wave modes appeared simultaneously. The measured inertial wave frequencies were compared to the predictions of the linear inviscid theory.

We report analysis and measurements of the torque and flow of a ferrofluid in a cylindrical annulus subjected to a rotating magnetic field perpendicular to the cylinder axis. The presence of the inner cylinder results in a nonuniform magnetic field in the annulus. An asymptotic analysis of the ferrohydrodynamic torque and flow assuming linear magnetization and neglecting the effect of couple stresses indicated that the torque should have a linear dependence on field frequency and quadratic dependence on field amplitude. To the order of approximation of the analysis, no bulk flow is expected in the annular gap between stationary cylinders. Experiments measured the torque required to restrain a polycarbonate spindle surrounded by ferrofluid in a cylindrical container and subjected to the rotating magnetic field generated by a two-pole magnetic induction motor stator, as a function of the applied field amplitude and frequency, and for various values of the geometric aspect ratios of the problem. The ultrasound velocity profile method was used to measure the azimuthal and axial velocity profiles in the ferrofluid contained in the annular gap of the apparatus. Flow measurements show the existence of a bulk azimuthal ferrofluid flow between stationary coaxial cylinders with a negligible axial velocity component. The fluid was found to corotate with the applied magnetic field. Both the torque and flow measurements showed power-of-one dependence on frequency and amplitude of the applied magnetic field. This analysis and these experiments indicate that the action of antisymmetric stresses is responsible for the torque measured on the inner cylinder, whereas the effect of body couples is likely responsible for bulk motion of the ferrofluid.

The aim of the present numerical study is to investigate the effect of thermally active zones and direction of the external magnetic field on hydromagnetic convection in an enclosure. Nine different relative positions of the thermally active zones are considered. Top and bottom of the enclosure are adiabatic. The governing equations are solved by the finite volume method. The results are obtained for different directions of the external magnetic field, thermally active locations, Hartmann numbers, Grashof numbers and aspect ratios. It is observed that the heat transfer is enhanced for heating location is either at middle or at bottom of the hot wall while the cooling location is either at top or at middle of the cold wall. The flow field is altered when changing the direction of the magnetic field in the presence of strong magnetic field. The average Nusselt number decreases with an increase of the Hartmann number and increases with increase of the Grashof number and aspect ratio.

A global numerical model of a Bridgman furnace is developed and validated. The model includes heat transfer due to radiation and conduction in a stationary setup. The rotating magnetic field (RMF) device mounted on the facility is implemented into the model also. A numerical study on the flow field caused by the axial non-uniform RMF and natural convection is performed, helping to get a better understanding of the convective conditions during the directional solidification experiments.
