Magnetic fluids are stable colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic nano-particles (of size 10-20 nm) in a nonmagnetic liquid carrier. An initially uniform particle distribution in the carrier becomes spatially inhomogeneous in nonuniform magnetic fields. Motion of particles in magnetic fluids under the action of magnetic fields is of particular interest for contemporary mathematical and numerica...

In the present study, nonlinear vibration of coupled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in presence of surface effect is investigated based on nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam (EBB) theory. CNTs are embedded in a visco-elastic medium and placed in the uniform longitudinal magnetic field. Using von Kármán geometric nonlinearity and Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear higher order governing equations are deriv...

Introduction: Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia is a promising cancer treatment approach. It is based on the evidence that by injecting MNPs such as Fe3O4 in the tumor and subjecting them to an alternating magnetic field, they release heat, generating temperatures up to 42°C that can kill cancer cells by apoptosis, usually with lowest damage to normal tissue. In previous...

We formulate the problem of magnetic field dissipation during the accretion phase of low-mass star formation, and we carry out the first step of an iterative solution procedure by assuming that the gas is in free-fall along radial field lines. This so-called “kinematic approximation” ignores the back reaction of the Lorentz force on the accretion flow. In quasi steady-state, and assuming the re...

We present a comprehensive study of the magnetization switching of a uniaxial nanoparticle driven by a circularly polarized magnetic field rotated in the plane perpendicular to the easy axis. The conditions for the existence of the uniform and non-uniform precessions of the nanoparticle magnetic moment are derived. In addition, the differences between switchings via uniform and non-uniform prec...

A nonperturbative technique is used to calculate the magnetoresistance of two-dimensional electron gases ~2DEG! subjected to a spatially periodic magnetic field B1 with period a in addition to a uniform magnetic field B0 in the same direction. For small amplitude modulation, magnetoresistance exhibits oscillations similar to the Weiss oscillations observed in 2DEG under spatially periodic elect...

This paper studies the effect of variable viscosity on the transient Couette flow of dusty fluid with heat transfer between parallel plates. The fluid is acted upon by a constant pressure gradient and an external uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the plates. The parallel plates are assumed to be porous and subjected to a uniform suction from above and injection from below. The ...

Effects of the uniform transverse magnetic field on the transient free convective flows of a nanofluid with generalized thermal transport between two vertical parallel plates have been analyzed. The fluid temperature is described by a time-fractional differential equation with Caputo derivatives. Closed form of the temperature field is obtained by using the Laplace transform and fractional deri...
