title: Structure of ferrofluid dynamics.
abstract: The complete magnetodissipative structure of ferrofluid dynamics is derived from general principles, without reference to the angular momentum of the ferromagnetic grains. The results are independent of most microscopic details, and easily interpret two previous experiments. Both the Debye theory and the effective-field theory by Shliomis are shown to be special cases of the new set of equations.
