Simulations of behavior of magnetic particles in magnetic functional fluids using a hybrid method of lattice Boltzmann method, immersed boundary method and discrete particle method
New hybrid code of LBM-IBM-DPM with magnetic interactions for MR fluids is developed. Three-dimensional microstructures of magnetic particles in MR fluids are visualized Microstructures in MR fluid flows are shown considering fluid-particle interactions. Requirement of forming sheet-like structures of chain-like clusters is reported.
