Ferrohydrodynamics (Dover Books on Physics)

by R. E. Rosensweig (Author)
4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 20 ratings
See all formats and editions
The behavior and dynamics of magnetic fluids receive a coherent, comprehensive treatment in this high-level study, which encompasses electromagnetism and fields. One of the best classic introductions to the subject, the text covers most aspects of particle interaction, from magnetic repulsion to quasi-stable equilibriums and ferrohydrodynamic instabilities. The self-contained approach is suitable for graduate students and researchers in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics.
The initial chapters offer careful preparation in the most important aspects of magnetism and include introductory material on fluid dynamics. These provide the groundwork for the development of a rigorous description of stress in magnetic fields, leading to formulation of the equations of motion and treatment of the surface boundary conditions. Coverage of numbers of equilibrium flows emphasizes use of the generalized Bernoulli equation as a unifying concept. The text concludes with an examination of the basic instability flow and a pair of helpful appendixes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The classical on ferrofluids
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2007
Verified Purchase
The book of Rosensweig is one of the best classical introduction in English on the ferrofluids hydrodynamical behaviour, if not still the easiest to read. It is written in a very clear way and introduces to a fascinating subject, giving the essential informations to be able to follow the evolution of that domain. At least, after readibg it, one has most of the necessary background to do so. While other books are more detailled on specific topics or up to date, Rosensweig remains the great pedagogical introduction, so that most of the actual research can still be linked to this great book. The book suffers from only one weak point: a lot of research is now actually devoted to domains which were in their infancy in 1985. The book does not describe those of course but remains of invaluable help to understand thoroughly the basis needed to move forward

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book on ferrofluids
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Author has a clear and concise style. Starts at the basic level and moves into advanced treatments as the book progresses. Also covers Maxwells Equations and fields. Very little prior knowledge of hydrodynamics is required to read it. Doesn’t get into magnetization dynamics like LLG Equation but does a great job explaining tensors and dyadics. This part is better than any math or physics book on those topics. As a ferrofluid researcher, I cannot stress how informative this book is to my understanding of the dynamics of magnetic liquids.

Book is very small, so it is not that comfortable to read. But good quality otherwise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on Magnetic Fluid Physics.
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2014

If you got to read this review, you already know what this book is about: A great introduction to the physics of magnetic fluids. I'm instead going to talk about this paper back edition. It is good enough to read through, even tough I think some images are a bit off. I don't think its enough to refuse the book, tough. If you need its content, just get it. It's really worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but written in 1985
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014
This is indeed an excellent book. However, it was actually written in 1985. Thus it lacks mention of computer software used nowadays. Other books, including Magnetic Actuators and Sensors written in 2014, describe finite element computation of magnetic fields for problems of magnetic particles etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars more relevant today than when written
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2005
This is the starting point and best resource for anyone at all interested in ferrofluids. The text is rich with background theory, synthesis techniques and novel applications. Many of the topics and applications are more relevant today than when the text was written due to advancements in new materials especially in the areas of nanotechnology and biomedical engineering. You won't find a better resource for the price.
