The paper deals with a theoretical study of influence of magnetic field on effective viscosity of suspension of non-Brownian magnetizable particles. It is supposed that experimentally observed magnetorheological effects are provided by chain-like aggregates, consisting of the particles. Unlike previous works on this subject, we take into account that the chains cannot be identical and estimate their size distribution. The following power law (η-η0)/η0∼Mn-Δ(η-η0)/η0∼Mn-Δ, detected in many experiments, is obtained theoretically (ηη and η0η0 are the suspension effective viscosity and the carrier liquid viscosity, respectively, Mn is the so-called Mason number, proportional to the shear rate and inversely proportional to the square of magnetic field). The calculated magnitude of the exponent ΔΔ increases with the applied magnetic field from approximately 0.66 to 0.8–0.9 and slowly increases with the volume concentration ϕϕ of the particles. These results are in agreement with known experiments.
