Retarding the growth of the {Rosensweig} instability unveils a new scaling regime
Adrian Lange, Christian Gollwitzer, Robin Maretzki +2
Using a highly viscous magnetic fluid, the dynamics in the aftermath of the Rosensweig instability can be slowed down by more than 2000 times. In this way we expand the regime wher…
Homoclinic snaking near the surface instability of a polarizable fluid
David J. B. Lloyd, Christian Gollwitzer, Ingo Rehberg +1
We report on localized patches of cellular hexagons observed on the surface of a magnetic fluid in a vertical magnetic field. These patches are spontaneously generated by jumping i…
The normal field instability under side-wall effects: comparison of experiments and computations
C Gollwitzer, A N Spyropoulos, A G Papathanasiou +2
We consider a single spike of ferrofluid, arising in a small cylindrical container, when a vertically oriented magnetic field is applied. The height of the spike as well as the sur…
The Surface Topography of a Magnetic Fluid -- a Quantitative Comparison between Experiment and Numerical Simulation
C. Gollwitzer, G. Matthies, R. Richter +2
The normal field instability in magnetic liquids is investigated experimentally by means of a radioscopic technique which allows a precise measurement of the surface topography. Th…
