Ref. 1, Sh 72 Here M stands for the ferrofluid magnetization under the magnetic field H and the flow vorticity
2v, is the fluid viscosity, nV the volume fraction of magnetic grains in the liquid, n is their number density, V the volume of a single particle, and 3 V/k B T is
the Brownian time of rotational particle diffusion. When the
fluid is at rest in a stationary magnetic field, its equilibrium
magnetization M0 is described by the Langevin formula

Thus, the additional viscosity is expressed through the offaxis component of magnetization, M y . For small this
component is also small; according to the all three of the
magnetization equations cited above, M y . So, r does
not depend on the flow vorticity in the limit 1. However, for finite values of the viscosity does depend on .
As a result, the function n () deviates from the linear
one, i.e., a ferrofluid acquires non-Newtonian properties.
Proceeding to the calculation of rotational viscosity on the
basis of Eq. 5, it is convenient to pass from the fields H and
He to their nondimensional values and :

For the Poiseuille or Couette flow, v 0,v (x),0 , in a transversal magnetic field, H(H,0,0), magnetization has two
components: M(M x ,M y ,0). Then Eq. 9 can be written
in the form f 2( r ) where 2 v / x and rotational viscosity is defined as
here ikl stands for an antisymmetric unit tensor and the last
term represents the Maxwell tensor of magnetic stresses in
ferrofluids. Eliminating from Eq. 7 with the aid of
Eq. 6, we obtain 1,2
