　View Summary

Streamwise variation of the suppressed turbulent diffusion of magnetic fluid flow in downstream of the magnetic field region was investigated experimentally. Reynolds number based on hydraulic diameter and bulk mean velocity were varied from 6400 to 14300, and magnetic field was applied up to 500 mT. The result shows that the recovery of suppressed heat transfer in downstream of the magnetic field region is strongly related with flow velocity and magnetic field intensity. Distance for recovering the suppressed turbulent diffusion from the magnetic field region becomes shorter in larger Reynolds number flow. The relationship among the recovery distance of the suppressed turbulent diffusion, magnetic body force and inertial force of the flow was discussed.

　View Summary

Using four types of tapered metering pins, we conducted drop impact tests and a qualitative analysis of effects of the pins on MR fluid with a magnetic field applied around an orifice area. The tapered metering pins changed the piston stroke. The results indicate that the shape of the pins has some effect on the overall shock absorption process whereas magnetic field strength affects the post-peak behavior only. These results show that a tapered metering pin has applicability to shock absorbers using an MR fluid.

Oral presentation (general), Technical University of Sofia

　View Summary

We performed vibration experiments for three types of U-pipes, and obtained the following results: (1) The shape of the bottom and elbow of the U-pipe has no influence on the natural frequency change of an MF-TLCD (Magnetic-Fluid Tuned Liquid Column Damper) when a magnetic field is applied. (2) When using a U-pipe with an elbow with a larger curvature, it is possible to reduce the damping force on the liquid column and improve MF-TLCD performance.

Oral presentation (general), Heat Transfer Society of Japan

　View Summary

The suppression of turbulent heat transfer and the recovery of the suppressed heat transfer in the downstream of magnetic field region was investigated experimentally in more detail. The result shows that the suppression of heat transfer becomes large by applying stronger magnetic field but is saturated at a certain strength of magnetic field with relation to flow velocity. The recovery of suppressed heat transfer in downstream of the magnetic field region is also related with magnetic field intensity and flow velocity.

　View Summary

Pressure drop in a square duct flow of a magnetic fluid was investigated experimentally. DC and AC magnetic fields were applied to the flow. The pressure drop under DC magnetic field was larger than that under the AC magnetic field. When AC magnetic field was applied, the frequency of the pressure drop was twice of that of the AC magnetic field from FFT analysis.

　View Summary

Magnetic fluid tuned liquid column damper (MF-TLCD) is a kind of semi-active damper that uses magnetic fluid as its working fluid. We quantitatively investigated the damping coefficient generated by the flow of magnetic fluid, which is strongly related to the damping performance. Three kind of U-pipes that have each different shape ((1) conventional (2) equipped with an orifice (3) curved fluently) were prepared and single-degree-of-freedom oscillation was performed with each those pipes. Finally, we discussed the effect to the damping performance of MF-TLCD induced by various damping coefficient subjected to magnetic field and configurations of those U-pipes.

Poster presentation, Laboratoire CNRS-EPM/SIMaP and Institute of Physics, University of Latvia

　View Summary

Forced convective heat transfer and flow resistance of rectangular duct flow of a magnetic fluid by applying non-uniform magnetic field was investigated experimentally. One characteristic result shows that heat transfer is largely enhanced by applying non-uniform magnetic field in the laminar flow regime. Comparing with the result with applying uniform magnetic field, heat transfer enhancement is larger than that with applying uniform magnetic field. This seems that thermal convection excited by applying non-uniform magnetic field strongly affects the heat transfer.

　View Summary

This paper presents experimental analysis of magnetorheological fluid (MRF) under alternating magnetic fields. The experiments were conducted under alternating magnetic fields. MRFs of different volume fraction of two types were used in this study. The relation between the change of ultrasonic propagation velocity, the difference of volume fraction and frequency of magnetic field were discussed. As a result, for high volume fraction, the cluster size was affected by frequency of magnetic field rather than for low volume fraction.

　View Summary

This paper reports experimental studies about anisotropy and attenuation as characteristics of ultrasonic propagation in a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) under AC magnetic fields. Parameters of this studies are magnitude of AC magnetic fields, frequencies of AC magnetic fields and angles between directions of ultrasonic propagation and magnetic field. As results of change rate of sound velocity, MRF has characteristics of time dependence, frequencies dependence and anisotropy under AC magnetic fields. Also, length of clusters in MRF became short with increase of frequencies of AC magnetic fields. The clusters in MRF are formed along the magnetic force under AC magnetic fields. Attenuation decreased with increase of the angles between directions of ultrasonic propagation and magnetic field. But, attenuation did not change with increase of frequencies of AC magnetic fields.

Influence of non-uniform magnetic field on velocity distribution of rectangular duct flow of a magnetic fluid

Oral presentation (general), The Visualization Society of Japan

　View Summary

The ultrasonic velocity profiler was used to investigate the influence of non-uniform magnetic field on the velocity distribution of the rectangular duct flow of a magnetic fluid. The results showed that the flow velocity at the upper-leaning side from the center of the duct increased and the velocity gradient at only the bottom wall side, which electromagnet exists, decreased in the laminar flow. In contrast, in the case of turbulent flow, not only velocity gradient but also flow velocity near the center of the duct hardly changed by applying magnetic field. This is because magnetic field intensity is not so strong that the velocity distribution is affected.

　View Summary

The effect of magnetic field on two-layer sloshing with magnetic fluids and silicone oil were studied. Frequency-pressure response was recorded to conduct research. The permanent magnets were placed near the interface of two fluids. The resonant frequencies were changed by the positions of the magnets, the type of magnets, and the direction of the magnetic field. This study shows the possibility that two-layer fluid sloshing with magnetic fluids can be controlled by the intensity and the direction of magnetic field.

Oral presentation (general), JSME

　View Summary

Frequency response analysis of a tuned liquid column damper using magnetic fluid (MF-TLCD) based on a linearized method was presented. An MF-TLCD alters the natural frequency of the magnetic fluid column that forms the resident liquid inside the MF-TLCD by applying a magnetic field. The interaction equations of motion under a harmonic type of loading for SDOF damped structure and liquid surface motion in a MF-TLCD were expressed. The damping term induced by liquid flows and the magnetic force term were linearized to derive analytical solutions. The analytical results were compared with experimental results.
