Abstract
A complete set of basic equations for magnetic fluids with internal rotation is proposed in this paper. The basic equations are derived from the conservation laws of mass, linear momentum, angular momentum and energy, while the constitutive equations are obtained by the thermodynamical method that is based on the free energy and the dissipation function. The concrete expression of constitutive equations are determined by the principle of material frame indifference and the principle of maximal dissipation rate. The Abraham expression of the electromagnetic momentum and E-B analogy are adopted in this theory. It is shown that the difference in the basic equations in case of adopting the Abraham expression and the Minkowski expression, respectively. The constitutive equation of magnetization which includes the Shliomis relaxation equation (1972) is proposed.
