Magnetization and Deformation of a Drop of a Magnetic Fluid in an Alternating Magnetic Field

Resumo

The magnetization and slow steady-state deformation oscillations of a droplet of a magnetic fluid in an alternating magnetic field are investigated theoretically. The drop is suspended in another magnetic fluid with which it is immiscible. The change in the magnetic field is so slow that approximations of a quasi-stationary magnetic field and a quasi-steady flow can be used.
