The filed effect on local temperature distribution in natural convection in a magnetic fluid

ORAL

Abstract

Previously, we have reported the magnetic field effect on the flow front of natural convection in magnetic fluids. In this work we present the local temperature distribution as a function of applied field, from which flow patterns are constructed. We will also report, and discuss the possible mechanism for, a crossover field, above which the field dependence diminishes.
