Abstract: | We present visualization and measurement of the convection of water under a high magnetic field applied vertically to the fluid. The convection was either suppressed or enhanced depending on the direction of the magnetic force. The magnetic field effect was evaluated quantitatively by measuring the onset of convection, and discussed in terms of the Rayleigh number which includes the magnetic term. The results clearly show that the convection in a diamagnetic fluid such as water can be controlled using a common 10 T class magnet. |
