Non-equilibrium Ferrohydrodynamics

Ferrofluids, a synthetic intelligent liquid material, exhibit fascinating flow phenomena when subjected to magnetic fields. This book systematically examines the fundamentals, applications, mathematical derivations, and properties of non-equilibrium ferrohydrodynamics and explores the magnetization and viscosity properties of ferrofluids.
