Abstract
A new type of two-dimensional lattice-Boltzmann model is developed in order to study the rheological properties of magnetic fluids. The appropriate ex tension of the lattice-Boltzmann scheme for magnetohydrodynamics makes it p ossible to deal with the rotation of the magnetic moment without losing the advantage of its simple algorithm. This model is suitable for simulating v arious behaviors of magnetic fluids influenced by the internal angular mome ntum.
