Abstract
We have made an initial study of field-induced agglomeration in thin layers of water-based magnetic fluids. The results are especially interesting for the case of a vertical applied magnetic field when the geometry of agglomeration assumes a pattern of uniform cylinders of equal height and diameter. This allows an upper bound to the packing fraction of elementary particles within chains to be established at ∼ 0.11. It is also believed that this disposition of agglomeration would enable the light transmission properties of the fluid to be readily correlated with the presence of chains.
