Traveling patterns in rotating magnetic fields — •Katharina Schatz, Robert Krauss, Reinhard Richter, and Ingo Rehberg — Experimentalphysik 5, Universität Bayreuth, D-95440 Bayreuth, Germany

Recently we have demonstrated, that a magnetic field rotating on the free surface of a ferrofluid layer can induce considerable fluid motion towards the direction the field is rolling. This effect can be utilized for a magnetic pump, which can drive a flow even in small geometries, where a mechanical driving of the flow is not possible. In our contribution we demonstrate that the pump is still working if a constant magnetic field is superimposed on the rotating one. This enables us to drive a periodic pattern of Rosensweig peaks by means of a rotating field. The traveling velocity of the pattern is measured for different values of the rotation amplitude and frequency.
