title: Viscosity measurements of a ferrofluid: comparison with various hydrodynamic equations.
abstract: Effective viscosity of a magnetic fluid as a function of applied magnetic field oriented in the perpendicular direction of the capillary flow is determined. Close agreement with the Shliomis expression derived on the basis of effective field method is observed.
