Abstract

A mechanical analysis is done to find the evolution of the interface profile between binary immiscible fluids induced by a three-dimensional orthogonal magnetic field gradient. In the experiments, the changes of the interface profile between four groups of binary immiscible fluids are investigated under the same horizontal magnetic field gradients. The binary immiscible fluids are made of benzene and other liquids, like CuSO4, Fecl3, FeSO4 or Cucl2 aqueous solutions. In addition, the interface profile between the benzene and CuSO4 aqueous solution is examined under different horizontal magnetic field gradients. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis. This study explains the enhanced Moses effect from a mechanics standpoint. Furthermore, a new method for susceptibility measurement is proposed based on this enhanced Moses effect.
