Abstract
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the flow of a biomagnetic fluid.Design/methodology/approachThe flow takes place in a straight circular duct and the magnetic field is produced by a line dipole placed perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the duct.FindingsThe numerical results show that the magnetic field affects the characteristics of the flow, the velocity components and the friction factor, even for medium field intensity. A relation is proposed for the maximum and minimum longitudinal pressure drop in the pipe.Originality/valueFrom the present results it is obtained that it is important to take into account the magnetic properties of blood in the various applications that involve blood flow in the presence of a magnetic field.
