Effects of Magnetic Field Gradient on Particle Distributions of Suspension Comprised of both Magnetic and Nonmagnetic Particles Using Two-Dimensional Monte Carlo Simulations

Article Preview

Abstract:

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) have recently been fabricated under gradient magnetic fields via slip casting, based on the distinct difference in magnetic susceptibility between the components in a suspension comprised of both magnetic particles (MPs) and nonmagnetic particles (NPs). In this work, a physical model of a mixed suspension comprised of both MPs and NPs under a gradient magnetic field is built, base on which the distributions of particles in the suspension under gradient magnetic fields are studied using two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations, and the effects of magnetic field gradient on the distributions of particles are investigated. The results show that a gradient distribution of MPs is formed along field direction, which is attributed to the translation of MPs. As the magnetic field gradient is increased, the distribution gradient of MPs increases.
