The aim of this book is to present a systematized picture of knowledge of the interaction between magnetic fluids and external field including the main physical, hydrodynamic and thermophysical problems.
Particular emphasis is laid on the following topics:
Static and dynamic magnetization of single-domain particle assembles
Phase transitions and structure of concentration domains
Phenomenological models of ferrocolloids
Internal rotations and rheological properties
Thermomagnetic and concentration driven convection
Specific effects of heat and mass transfer
Preparation of magnetic colloids
