Part of the field dependent dissipation in ferrofluids occurs due to the rotational motion of the ferromagnetic grains relative to the viscous flow of the carrier fluid. The classical theoretical description due to Shliomis uses a mesoscopic treatment of the particle motion to derive a relaxation equation for the non-equilibrium part of the magnetization. Complementary, the hydrodynamic approach of Liu involves only macroscopic quantities and results in dissipative Maxwell equations for the magnetic fields in the ferrofluid. Different stress tensors and constitutive equations lead to deviating theoretical predictions in those situations, where the magnetic relaxation processes cannot be considered instantaneous on the hydrodynamic time scale. We quantify these differences for two situations of experimental relevance namely a resting fluid in an oscillating oblique field and the damping of parametrically excited surface waves. The possibilities of an experimental differentiation between the two theoretical approaches is discussed.

Ferrofluids belong to an important class of highly functional soft matter, benefiting from their magnetically controllable physical properties. Therefore, it is of central importance to quantitatively predict the dynamic magnetic response of ferroflu ids. Traditional dynamic theories, however, are often restricted to the near-equilibrium regime and/or only apply to nearly ideal ferrofluids that are monodisperse, dilute enough, and weakly interacting. In this paper I develop a self-consistent and nonperturbative dynamical mean field theory for typical ferrofluids which are often polydisperse, concentrated, and strongly interacting, possibly driven far from equilibrium. I obtain a general nonperturbative expression for the dynamic magnetic susceptibility, quantitatively agreeing with the spectra obtained from Brownian Dynamics simulations on both mono- and bidisperse samples. Furthermore, I derive a generic magnetization relaxation equation (MRE) for both mono- and polydisperse ferrofluids by employing the projection operator technique in nonequlibrium statistical mechanics. This MRE is in simple closed form and independent of which model is employed to approximate the equilibrium magnetization curve. Existing models can be recovered as low-order approximations of my generic and nonperturbative MRE. My theory can play a key role in studying the dynamics of ferrofluids and other polar fluids. It may also have substantial and immediate consequences to various ferrofluid applications.

By using theoretical analysis and molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the structure of colloidal crystals formed by nonmagnetic microparticles (or magnetic holes) suspended in ferrofluids (called inverse ferrofluids), by taking into accoun t the effect of polydispersity in size of the nonmagnetic microparticles. Such polydispersity often exists in real situations. We obtain an analytical expression for the interaction energy of monodisperse, bidisperse, and polydisperse inverse ferrofluids. Body-centered tetragonal (bct) lattices are shown to possess the lowest energy when compared with other sorts of lattices and thus serve as the ground state of the systems. Also, the effect of microparticle size distributions (namely, polydispersity in size) plays an important role in the formation of various kinds of structural configurations. Thus, it seems possible to fabricate colloidal crystals by choosing appropriate polydispersity in size.
We develop a new integrated dynamical model to investigate the effects of the hydrodynamic fluctuations on observables in high-energy nuclear collisions. We implement hydrodynamic fluctuations in a fully 3-D dynamical model consisting of the hydrodyn amic initialization models of the Monte-Carlo Kharzeev-Levin-Nardi model, causal dissipative hydrodynamics and the subsequent hadronic cascades. By analyzing the hadron distributions obtained by massive event-by-event simulations with both of hydrodynamic fluctuations and initial-state fluctuations, we discuss the effects of hydrodynamic fluctuations on the flow harmonics, $v_n$ and their fluctuations.
The phase of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in mesoscopic metal rings in the presence of a magnetic field can be modulated by application of a DC-bias current I_DC. We address the question of how a variation of I_DC and hence of the microscopic phases of the electronic wave functions results in the macroscopic phase of the conductance oscillations. Whereas the first one can be varied continuously the latter has to be quantized for a ring in two-wire configuration by virtue of the Onsager symmetry relations. We observe a correlation between a phase flip by +/- pi and the amplitude of the oscillations.
We suggest kinetic models of dissipation for an ensemble of interacting oriented particles, for example, moving magnetized particles. This is achieved by introducing a double bracket dissipation in kinetic equations using an oriented Poisson bracket, and employing the moment method to derive continuum equations for magnetization and density evolution. We show how our continuum equations generalize the Debye-Hueckel equations for attracting round particles, and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations for spin waves in magnetized media. We also show formation of singular solutions that are clumps of aligned particles (orientons) starting from random initial conditions. Finally, we extend our theory to the dissipative motion of self-interacting curves.
