Abstract

Distribution of magnetic spherocylinder particles and nonmagnetic sphere particles in MAGIC (MAGnetic Intelligent Compound) fluid under steady magnetic field is examined using the particle method. In order to arrange nonmagnetic abrasive particles to the applied magnetic field direction, using magnetic spherocylinder particles is effective. In particular, particle distribution on the plane perpendicular to the field direction is more uniform compared to the case using magnetic sphere particles..
