Abstract The behavior of a single air bubble rising in magnetic fluids without magnetic fields is visualized using a mini-gap between two parallel vertical glass plates. Water-based Fe3O4 magnetic fluids with particle volume concentration of 6.33 % and density 1261.96 kgm - 3 are filled in these gaps and a single air bubble is produced through the orifice at the bottom of the gap. The thicknesses of the gaps are 1 and 2 mm, respectively. Diameters of the orifices are 0.64 and 1.02 mm for 1 mm gap, and 0.64, 1.02 and 1.6 mm for 2… More >
