Motion of a Cylinder Partially Filled With a Nano-Ferro-Fluid Suspension in a Magnetic Field

Avula X.J., Washington University in St. Louis, US

This study describes the motion of a partially full cylinder containing a nano-ferrofluid suspension when subjected to magnetic and nonmagnetic forces. The cylinder is allowed to roll from a state of rest without slipping on [...]
