the free rotation of the particle, and resultantly this torque gives rise to an
increase of the fluid’s viscosity.
In this case, however, when the magnetic field H is applied as colin-
ear with the rotation of the fluid particle, the magnetic moment m (or
M ) will be aligned with the same direction of H ( M // H ), and with that
there is not any field influence, rotating the particle with the same angular
velocity (
p
Ȧ = ). Obviously, when there is no magnetic field
0 H
,
the particle has no preferable direction to be oriented, and rotates freely
with the same angular velocity of the fluid particle. The theoretical expla-
nation of magnetoviscous effect in diluted magnetic fluids was given by
Shliomis (1972); this also gives the basis for the development of ferrohy-
drodynamic equations.
By considering the establishment of the angular momentum equation
of magnetic fluid, we can write Eq. (8.2.3), using the stress tensor given in
Eq. (8.2.9), as follows
