PAIRWISE INTERACTION OF DROPS OF MAGNETIC 
EMULSION UNDER THE ACTION OF ROTATING FIELD

UDC 532.5:538.6 

Consideration is given to the dynamics of a pair of drops of a magnetic 
liquid that are suspended in a normal liquid with relatively low viscosity 
under the action of a rotating field. Account is taken of hydrodynamic and 
dipole-dipole interactions as well as of the electrodynamic torque due to 
the finite relaxation time of magnetization of the magnetic liquid. It is 
shown that hydrodynamic interaction leads to the formation of a rigid pair 
in the rotating field and the electrodynamic moment of forces governs its 
dynamics at large frequencies, leading to a growth that is linear in the 
field frequency in the rotational velocity for the pair of drops, whereas 
a pair of solid particles loses sensitivity to the field.
