title: Bulk flow in ferrofluids in a uniform rotating magnetic field.
abstract: Direct measurements of the bulk flow of a ferrofluid in a uniform rotating magnetic field were obtained using the ultrasonic velocity profile method. The fluid was observed to corotate with the field in a rigid-body-like fashion throughout the bulk of the container, except near the air-fluid interface, where it was observed to counterrotate. The results were found in qualitative agreement with the spin diffusion theory of Zaitsev and Shliomis [J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys. 10, 696 (1969)]10.1007/BF00907424.
