title: Dynamics of colloidal suspensions of ferromagnetic particles in plane Couette flow: comparison of approximate solutions with Brownian dynamics simulations.
abstract: The stationary and oscillatory properties of dilute ferromagnetic colloidal suspensions in plane Couette flow are studied. Analytical expressions for the off-equilibrium magnetization and the shear viscosity are obtained within the so-called effective field approximation. We also investigate the predictions of a different approximation based on the linearized moment expansion. Direct numerical simulation of the kinetic model are performed in order to test the range of validity of these approximations.
