Document Type thesis Author Name Reese, Owein URN etd-0430104-101629 Title Homogenization of Acoustic Wave Propagation in a Magnetorheological Fluid Degree MS Department Mathematical Sciences Advisors Dr. Bogdan Vernescu, Advisor Keywords Magnetorheological Homogenization wave acoustic Date of Presentation/Defense 2004-05-05 Availability unrestricted Abstract
We formulate a model for acoustic excitations in a magnetorheological fluid. Constitutive equations are derived for Navier-Stokes flow coupled with Maxwell's Equations. The viscosity of the fluid is modified to reflect the dependence of waves propagating within the fluid itself and in the case where they propagate along the network of particles.
