Abstract
In this paper, numerical simulation is used to simulate the sedimentation process of magnetorheological fluid
(MRF), and the sedimentation time of MR fluid is predicted by this method. Firstly, based on the existing literature
simulation method and its improvement, a numerical simulation method is proposed to simulate the MR
fluid sedimentation process. Finally, a variety of MR fluid samples are prepared to detect the accuracy of the
simulation results of the constructed numerical simulation method. It can be proved by comparing the measured
sedimentation time with the simulated sedimentation time, and the method constructed in this paper can
predict the sedimentation time of the more complicated MR fluid well, which has good practicability.
Keywords: magnetorheological fluid; sedimentation time; numerical simulation; experimental measurements
