Strongly coupled magnetorheological (MR) systems differ from regular simple or complex fluids since the effective interparticle interaction is controlled by external fields and thus provides a tunable anisotropic contribution. This, in turn, causes remarkable diversified phase diagrams of MR-systems. Our analysis of fluid–fluid transitions is based on a modified Ornstein–Zernike (OZ) equation which allows us to calculate structural properties of magnetorheological fluids with anisotropic (dipolar) interactions. The results are compared with MC simulations.
Research highlights► We carried out an analysis of fluid-fluid transitions in a magnetorheological system. ► The analysis is based on a modified Ornstein- Zernike equation. ► This can be used to calculate structural properties of magnetorheological fluids with anisotropic interactions. ► Comparisons between the present analysis and Monte Carlo simulations show that two results are agreed well with each other.
