• Sommario/riassunto: <BR>The behavior and dynamics of magnetic fluids receive a coherent, comprehensive treatment in this high-level study. One of the best classical introductions to the subject, the text covers most aspects of particle interaction, from magnetic repulsion to quasi-stable equilibriums and ferrohydrodynamic instabilities. Suitable for graduate students and researchers in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics.
