Levitation of non-magnetizable droplet inside ferrofluid
@article{Singh2018LevitationON, title={Levitation of non-magnetizable droplet inside ferrofluid}, author={Chamkor Singh and Arup Kumar Das and Prasanta Kumar Das}, journal={Journal of Fluid Mechanics}, year={2018}, volume={857}, pages={398 - 448} }
The central theme of this work is that a stable levitation of a denser non-magnetizable liquid droplet, against gravity, inside a relatively lighter ferrofluid – a system barely considered in ferrohydrodynamics – is possible, and exhibits unique interfacial features; the stability of the levitation trajectory, however, is subject to an appropriate magnetic field modulation. We explore the shapes and the temporal dynamics of a plane non-magnetizable droplet levitating inside a ferrofluid against…

It is emphasized that pearling is predominant during horizontal translation and depreciates during the ascent of an inclined plane (due to the resolved component of gravity) and can be predicted in terms of the magnetic Bond number, magnetic Laplace number and Bond number.

A volume of fluid (VOF) type code is developed and test and applied for the direct numerical simulation of two-fluid configurations of magnetic fluids with dynamic interfaces, finding that bubbles become more prolate than droplets under the same parameters and are accordingly found to break up more readily than Droplets in stronger fields.
