Strong solutions to the equations of flow and heat transfer in magnetic fluids with internal rotations (Q379496): Difference between revisions

The purpose of the present work is the mathematical analysis of an initial boundary-value problem for the system of equations describing the flow and heat transfer in a magnetic fluid with internal rotations, when the fluid is subjected to the action of an external magnetic field. Consider the flow of an incompressible and viscous, Newtonian ferrofluid, filling a bounded domain \(D\) under the action of an external magnetic field. This magnetic field induces a demagnetizing field \(H\) and a magnetic induction B satisfying the constitutive law. The authors study the Cauchy problem in the \(H^2\)-framework, they obtain a local-in-time existence result of a strong solution, establish a blow-up criterium and a global-in-time existence result under smallness assumptions on the data. Collinearity is a good approximation when the internal rotation of colloidal particles can be neglected.
