contents Surface waves and wave resistance in magnetic fluids J. Browaeys R. Perzynski J.-C. Bacri M. I. Shliomis Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas We present here the experimental determination of the dispersion relation of surface waves of a ferrofluid submitted to a steady vertical magnetic field. The results are compared to a linear theory where all the magnetic characteristics of the fluid have been taken into account. The knowledge of the dispersion equation is then used to analyse the capillary-wave resistance, that is the drag force associated to the emission of waves by a moving disturbance at a free fluid surface. It undergoes a transition from zero to a finite value as the speed of the disturbance reaches a certain critical value. The effect of viscosity is explored, and a magnetic fluid is shown to allow controlling the critical speeds. Contrary to the theoretical model, however, the measured wave resistance reveals a non monotonic speed dependence after the threshold. 2001 artículo científico 0103-9733 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=46413502016 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=464 Brazilian Journal of Physics application/pdf Sociedade Brasileira de Física Brazilian Journal of Physics (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.31
