Magnetic fluid is a new kind of nanometer function material
which possesses magnetic character and fluid character. Magnet can levitate among the magnetic fluid
just like staying in vacuum with zero gravity. The new type sensor
base on the levitation character
can avoid the direct mechanical contact
and reduce mechanical friction.The magnetic-current couple effect and the interface effect between the fluid and solid are very evident in the suspension-type magnetic fluid inertia sensor. Base on the classical hydrodynamic theory
the kinematic viscosity equation obtained by fitting experimental data can be solved by associating with the fluid equation
when magnetic fluid can be considered as nonpolar fluid. The key factors to optimize the configuration of the sensor are to increase magnetic-current damp and to reduce the displacement of the magnetic body. The methods of step modeling and setting up integral variable in different field are used to analyze the theory equation
and numeric analysis researches are done on the magnetic-current damp of the objects with different structure. Numerical calculation and experimental result indicate that the viscosity of magnetic fluid
which can be controlled by magnetic density
makes much effect on magnetic-current damp. The structure with grooves can increase the magnetic-current damp and reduce the displacement by compensating the loss of the damp
when it reduce the differential pressure between the sides.
