AbstractCompressions of magnetorheological (MR) fluids have been carried out under instantaneous magnetic fields. The yield strength of the MR fluid in compressive mode has been derived by assuming that it was a transformed shear flow in Bi-visous model. The compressive stresses have experimentally studied under different magnetic fields, different initial gap distances and different compressive velocities. The nominal yield shear stresses of the compressed MR fluid under different influential factors have been calculated. The compressive stress increased in a power law as the applied magnetic field increased, while it decreased as the initial gap distance and the compressive velocity increased. With the increase of magnetic field, the difference between the nominal yield shear stress curves increased, and the exponents of the power law increased with the increase of the magnetic field strengths. A larger initial gap distance and a lower compressive velocity resulted in a higher nominal yield shear stress under the same instantaneous magnetic field. The achieved results of the nominal yield shear stress with magnetic field seemed to deviate from the prediction of dipole model, and the chain structure aggregation effect, the sealing effect and the friction effect by compression should be considered.

To enhance the yield shear stress of magnetorheological (MR) fluids is an important task. Since thick columns have a yield stress much higher than a single-chain structure, we enhance the yield stress of an MR fluids by changing the microstructure of MR fluids. Immediately after a magnetic field is applied, we compress the MR fluid along the field direction. SEM images show that the particle chains are pushed together to form thick columns. The shear force measured after the compression indicates that the yield stress can reach as high as 800 kPa under a moderate magnetic field, while the same MR fluid has a yield stress of 80 kPa without compression. This enhanced yield stress increases with the magnetic field and compression pressure and has an upper limit well above 800 kPa. The method is also applicable to electrorheological fluids.

Different concentration of spherical iron particles (7 to 8 μm) are dispersed in silicone oil to increase the stability with smectite. The concentration of iron particles is maintained between 2 and 40 volume %. The solenoid coil surrounding the cylinders applies the magnetic field in the longitudinal direction of cylinder, when the cylindrical viscometer is employed. As the magnetic field increases, the diameter of chain structure also increases. The shear stress versus shear rate is proportional relation since the viscosity enlarges as the magnetic field increases at small concentration of iron in MR fluid. Additionally, the more increase of the magnetic field strength caused the decrease of the shear stresses at large concentration of iron in MR fluid, while the share rate is increased for the open system of the cylinders. It is assumed that wider clusters or wider chain structures are partly produced in the cylinder under the certain magnetic field. Therefore, the shear stress is not uniformly increased. On the other hand, when the cone and plate viscometer is used, the magnetic field direction is perpendicular to the flow direction. The shear stress versus share rate behaves like a Bingham fluid type under the effect of the magnetic field. As increasing the iron particles volume %, the chain structures cannot increase and make other ring type structures. When the magnetic field is measured by hall probe, the magnetic field decreased at some amount of volume percentage of iron suspension because of shield effect.

The present study gives details of a methodology for estimating the critical shear stress for erosion of mine tailings and other naturally occurring cohesive sediments. Erosion of a cohesive sediments bed occurs when the critical shear stress is exceeded to break the interparticle bond. Experiments were conducted in a 30 cm diameter laboratory column and calibrated using laser Doppler anemometry. The results showed that the erosion pattern of mine tailings particles was similar to those of fine-grained cohesive sediments. A power-law relation of the form E = α[(τ – τcr)/τcr]n is suggested for mine tailings, where E is the erosion rate, α is a coefficient, τ is the shear stress, τcr is the critical shear stress, and n is an exponent. The computed values of α, n, and τcr in the power-law equation were found to be comparable to values derived from experiments in a rotating circular flume. The derived expression for rate of erosion may be incorporated in resuspension and transport models for fine mine tailings of a similar nature.Key words: mine tailings, laser Doppler velocimetry, wall shear stresses, critical shear stress for erosion, erosion – shear stress relationship.

Abstract We explore the decay of turbulence and magnetic fields generated by fluctuation dynamo action in the context of galaxy clusters where such a decaying phase can occur in the aftermath of a major merger event. Using idealized numerical simulations that start from a kinetically dominated regime we focus on the decay of the steady state rms velocity and the magnetic field for a wide range of conditions that include varying the compressibility of the flow, the forcing wavenumber, and the magnetic Prandtl number. Irrespective of the compressibility of the flow, both the rms velocity and the rms magnetic field decay as a power law in time. In the subsonic case we find that the exponent of the power law is consistent with the −3/5 scaling reported in previous studies. However, in the transonic regime both the rms velocity and the magnetic field initially undergo rapid decay with an ≈t−1.1 scaling with time. This is followed by a phase of slow decay where the decay of the rms velocity exhibits an ≈−3/5 scaling in time, while the rms magnetic field scales as ≈−5/7. Furthermore, analysis of the Faraday rotation measure (RM) reveals that the Faraday RM also decays as a power law in time ≈t−5/7; steeper than the ∼t−2/5 scaling obtained in previous simulations of magnetic field decay in subsonic turbulence. Apart from galaxy clusters, our work can have potential implications in the study of magnetic fields in elliptical galaxies.

Digital holographic microscopy is presented in this study, which can measure the magnetorheological (MR) fluid in different volume fractions of particles and different magnetic field strengths. Based on the chain structure of magnetic particle under applied magnetic field, the relationships between shear yield stress, magnetic field, size, and volume fraction of MR fluid in two parallel discs are established. In this experiment, we choose three MR fluid samples to check the rheological properties of MR fluid and to obtain the material parameters with the test equipment of MR fluid; the conclusion is effective.

Magnetorheological (MR) fluid shows different performances under different temperature, which causes so many problems like the reduction of rheological properties of MR fluid under a high temperature condition, the uncontrollability of shear stress, and even failure of transmission; on that basis, the influence of temperature on the performance of MR fluid and the cause of the rise in temperature of MR transmission device are analyzed in this paper; the shearing transmission performance of the MR transmission device under the effect of an external magnetic field and the influence of temperature on the shearing stress and transmission performance are analyzed. The study results indicate that temperature highly influences the viscosity of MR fluid, and the viscosity influences the shear stress of the MR fluid. The viscosity of MR fluid gradually declines when temperature rises from 100°C. Once the temperature exceeds 100°C, the viscosity would increase and the temperature stability would decline. Temperature obviously influences the characteristics of MR transmission, and particularly, highly influences the characteristics of MR transmission once being higher than 100°C. The chaining of the material in the magnetic field is influenced, which causes the reduction of the rheological properties, the uncontrollability of the shear stress, and even the failure of transmission.

The Galerkin approximative technique is used to solve the problem of stagnation in plane flow, the so-called “Hiemenz flow”, of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid in presence of a constant transverse magnetic field. The influence of the magnetic field strength on the wall shear stress is analyzed.

We have studied the superconducting transition and the magnetoconductivity fluctuations in the polycrystalline Y3Ba5Cu8O[Formula: see text] (Y358) superconductor under magnetic fields upto 1 T. A two-step superconducting transition could be observed as a consequence of the granular structure of the sample, which is strongly affected by the applied magnetic field. Gaussian and genuine critical 3D-XY-E fluctuation regimes were identified. A critical scaling regime beyond 3D-XY was identified for magnetic fields upto 0.25 T, corresponding to the averaged exponent 0.19 and suggesting the occurrence of the weak first-order character of the superconducting transition. In the approximation to the zero resistance a power law regime could be observed, corresponding to the averaged exponent 2.37, which are smaller than previously reported for the Y358 system. Our results are discussed in terms of the Y358 and YBa2Cu3O[Formula: see text](Y123) results in the literature.

In this paper, the results of adding nanoparticles and applying non-uniform magnetic fields on a biofluid (blood) flow through a two-dimensional horizontal channel with a step are reported. Two magnetic fields with positive and negative gradients were applied. The control volume technique and two-phase mixture model in the numerical approach have been used to illustrate the hydro-thermal behavior of flow. Simulation results reveal that nanoparticles can significantly increase the Nusselt number and wall shear stress. Also, the wall shear stress, Nu, and recirculation length in the presence of a magnetic field with different gradients can be externally controlled. Based on the results, the negative gradient magnetic field increases wall shear stress and Nu in the affected region, unlike the positive gradient.
