Abstract
Magnetic fluid's behavior under progressive magnetic field is investigated numerically. Numerical simulations are performed using the ALE type of the GSMAC finite element method. The velocity profiles and pressure distributions of magnetic fluid are shown. The magnetic fluid may not always flow through the progress direction of magnetic field. The fluid is transported with motion of coming and going to the progress direction of magnetic field. The effects of the depth of magnetic fluid layer and frequencies of the progressive magnetic field on the surface velocity are examined.
