title: New lattice-Boltzmann model for magnetic fluids.
abstract: A new type of two-dimensional lattice-Boltzmann model is developed in order to study the rheological properties of magnetic fluids. The appropriate extension of the lattice-Boltzmann scheme for magnetohydrodynamics makes it possible to deal with the rotation of the magnetic moment without losing the advantage of its simple algorithm. This model is suitable for simulating various behaviors of magnetic fluids influenced by the internal angular momentum.
