Far-field theory for trajectories of magnetic ellipsoids in rectangular and circular channels

Abstract:

We report a method to control the positions of ellipsoidal magnets in flowing channels of rectangular or circular cross section at low Reynolds number. A static uniform magnetic field is used to pin the particle orientation and the particles move with translational drift velocities resulting from hydrodynamic interactions with the channel walls which can be described using Blake’s image tensor. Building on his insights, we are able to present a far-field theory predicting the particle motion ...
