Soliton wave in a magnetically levitated diamagnetic liquid column

In the flow regulation of a magnetically levitated pipeless flow system, so litary waves may occur, which will lead to pressure fluctuations and surfac e changes of the Levitated diamagnetic liquid column. The present study ana lyses a soliton in a magnetic pipe both theoretically and experimentally. A two-fluid model is employed here. The theoretical analysis is carried out by a one-dimensional nonviscous and nonlinear method. The experimental stud y was also carried out by setting two magnetic like pales to produce the ma gnetic held. using water as the levitated diamagnetic liquid and a diluted kerosene-base magnetic fluid as the surrounding fluid, coupled with a cam s ystem to produce the disturbance. It is found that the magnetic pressure ac ting an the interface can stabilize the interface. The effects of the magne tic bond number, density ratio of the two fluids and amplitude of the solit on on the soliton wave velocity are clarified.
