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…
Cylindrical Korteweg-de Vries solitons on a ferrofluid surface
D. Rannacher, A. Engel
Linear and non-linear surface waves on a ferrofluid cylinder surrounding a current-carrying wire are investigated. Suppressing the Rayleigh-Plateau instability of the fluid column…
Double Rosensweig instability in a ferrofluid sandwich structure
Dirk Rannacher, Andreas Engel
We consider a horizontal ferrofluid layer sandwiched between two layers of immiscible non-magnetic fluids. In a sufficiently strong vertical magnetic field the flat interfaces betw…
