Abstract

A set of hydrodynamic equations has been applied to processes occurring in non-conductive fluids placed into magnetic fields. The equations are valid for equilibrium magnetization within the framework of a continuous medium. The ranges of physical parameters have been evaluated for which magnetization of a fluid should be taken into account in problems concerning the determination of equilibrium forms, and flows and their stability. The conclusion has been drawn that magnetization of natural fluids in these problems must be taken into consideration for fluids in high (exceeding 1 T) magnetic fields. As examples, the solutions of several typical problems concerning the equilibrium surface of capillary fluids and their stability in external magnetic fields have been considered. Hydrodynamic effects related to magnetization of natural capillary fluids in high magnetic fields are studied with due regard for the above solutions. Hydrodynamic effects in para- and diamagnetic fluids have been studied and the common and distinctive features of these effects discussed.
