Role of interactions in ferrofluid thermal ratchets
Volker Becker Andreas Engel
Orientational fluctuations of colloidal particles with magnetic moments may be rectified with the help of external magnetic fields with suitably chosen time dependence. As a result…

Suppressing the Rayleigh-Taylor instability with a rotating magnetic field
D. Rannacher, A. Engel
The Rayleigh-Taylor instability of a magnetic fluid superimposed on a non-magnetic liquid of lower density may be suppressed with the help of a spatially homogeneous magnetic field…

Influence of surface tension on the conical miniscus of a magnetic fluid in the field of a current-carrying wire
Thomas John, Dirk Rannacher, Andreas Engel
We study the influence of surface tension on the shape of the conical miniscus built up by a magnetic fluid surrounding a current-carrying wire. Minimization of the total energy of…
