1964 J. L. Neuringer & R. E. Rosensweig in Physics of Fluids 7 1927/1 Ferrohydrodynamics is defined here as the fluid dynamic and heat transfer processes associated with the motion of incompressible, magnetically polarizable fluids in the presence of magnetic field and temperature gradients.
1990 Amer. Scientist May–June 289/1 Ferrohydrodynamics deals with the flow of magnetic fluids; here the force field arises..from magnetically polarizable matter interacting with applied magnetic fields.
2004 B. Straughan Energy Method, Stability, & Nonlinear Convection (ed. 2) xii. 217 Ferrohydrodynamics (FHD) is of great interest because the fluids of concern possess a giant magnetic response.
