Abstract
Pattern formation in magneto-rheological fluids composed of micrometric particles of Fe3O4 dispersed in silicone oil in the presence of an external static magnetic field is studied. The aggregation processes that originate the complex fibrous structure acquired by the suspension when the external field is turned on can be characterized by means of well-defined mass-scaling relations. The radial mass distribution is calculated. This function also clearly exhibits the different mass-scaling stages related to the formation of three different generations of clusters, and allows the hierarchical structure of the system to be described.
