Abstract

In ferrofluids the suspended ferromagnetic particles agglomerate due to the interaction between the particle magnetic moment and the external magnetic field, which in turn, influences the turbulence and relaxation time. The relaxation time becomes large when we are considering turbulence drag force instead of viscous drag force in Brownian motion. We investigate that the total energy conservation in ferrofluids taking into interaction between the external magnetic field and the ferrofluid.
