G801 Transport Coefficients and Orientational Distributions of a Dilute Colloidal Dispersion composed of Hematite Particles : Analysis for an Applied Magnetic Field parallel to the Angular Velocity Vector of a Shear Flow(2)

Abstract

We have treated with a dilute dispersion composed of ferromagnetic rodlike particles with a magnetic moment normal to the particle axis, such as hematites, to investigate the influences of the magnetic field strength, shear rate, and random forces on the orientational distribution of rodlike particles and also transport coefficients such as viscosity and diffusion coefficient.
