Abstract

In this paper, the behavior of a two-dimensional tube with an elastic segment containing ferrofluid (blood and 3vol% Fe3O4), in presence of non-uniform magnetic field is reported. Two cases of magnetic field including constant gradient (both positive and negative) and field of a wire, carrying electric current were examined. Surface tension of the membrane is considered to be fixed and constant along the elastic wall. Numerical solution of governing equations of the flow field has been obtained using the two-phase mixture model and control volume technique. Also, the membrane equation has been used to iterate and access the membrane position. Based on the obtained results, applying positive gradient magnetic field makes the tube narrower, but the negative one and magnetic field of electric wire opens the tube up.
