Properties and application of ferrofluids
Vaverka, Jakub ; Šedivý, Dominik (referee) ; Zbavitel, Jan (advisor)
Ferrofluids are substances that can change their properties through an external magnetic field. The theoretical part of this bachelor thesis explains the nature and properties of these liquids, and how they are made. The next chapter provides concrete examples of ferrofluid use, and where it is possible to direct current research. The principal objective of the experimental part is to measure and evaluate the surface tension of two different samples of kerosene-based ferrofluids.

Viscoelastic properties of ferrofluid - Study of normal stresses differences
Šustková, Hana
Since 1960, a liquid becoming strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field, called ferrofluid, is known. This colloidal liquid made of ferro- or ferrimagnetic nanoparticles, with diameter in range 10-20 nm, suspended in a carrier fluid. This work focuses on the study of the viscoelastic properties of a selected ferrofluid - the steady-state and dynamic properties of the fluid with comparison to a standard fluid (basis fluid, etc.) and a MR fluid. Rheological measurements are carried out using a commercial rheometer. A magnetic cell for this rheometer is designed and built. In this magnetic cell the experiments are realized, the whole system is calibrated and the experiments performed. The ferrofluid APG513a, MR-fluid and reference fluid were used. Study of normal stresses differences (N1,N2) in liquids is carried out. According to derived theoretical model, the course of N1 and N2 should be strongly dependent on the field - this was studied directly by measuring of the normal forces or indirectly applying the Laun's rule. A good accordance of theory and experiment was found and an anisotropic behaviour of ferrofluid was studied. The shear-thinning ability of the ferrofluid in normal direction for shear experiment is found to be much stronger than in shear direction. In dynamical mode, the...

Numerické simulace ferrotekutin

The stress tensor of a ferrofluid exposed to an external magnetic field is subject to an additional magnetic terms. For a linearly magnetizable medium, such terms results in an interfacial magnetic force acting on the ferrofluid boundaries. This force changes the characteristics of many free-surface ferrofluid phenomena. The aim of this work is to implement this force into Navier-Stokes equations and propose a numerical method to solve them. The interface of ferrofluid is tracked with the use of level-set method and additional reinitialization step assures conservation of its volume. Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are formulated for divergence free velocity fields while discrete interfacial forces are treated with continuous surface force model. Velocity-pressure coupling is given by projection method. To predict the magnetic force effect quantitatively, Maxwell's equations for magnetostatics are solved in each time step. Finite element method is utilized for the spatial discretization. At the end of the work, equilibrium droplet shape and dripping phenomenon are qualitatively compared to known experimental results.
