Influence of a strong magnetic field on a paramagnetic fluid's convection in systems with different aspect ratios

[摘要] Influence of a strong magnetic field gradients on a natural convection of a paramagnetic fluid in enclosures with aspect ratios (AR=height/width) 0.5 and 2.0 was investigated. Performed experiments allowed to determine the impact of strong magnetic field on heat transfer and the nature of the flow, showing that strong magnetic field enhances Nusselt number and rapidly changes the character of the flow. Conducted Fast Fourier analysis also allowed to determine the aspect ratio influence on investigated systems.
