Abstract. In this work the fundamental problem of the biomagnetic fluid flow taking place in a rectangular 

duct under the influence of an applied magnetic field is studied. It is assumed that the magnetization M of the 

fluid is varying linearly with temperature T and magnetic field intensity H. For the numerical solution of the 

problem, which is described by a coupled and non linear system of PDEs, with their appropriate boundary 

conditions, the stream function-vorticity formulation is adopted and the solution of the problem is obtained 

developing an efficient numerical technique based on the upwind finite differences joint with a line by line 

implicit method. Results concerning the velocity and temperature field, skin friction and rate of heat transfer 

indicate that the presence of magnetic field appreciable influence the flow field.  

 

 



1 INTRODUCTION 

Biomagnetic Fluid Dynamics (BFD) is a relatively new area in fluid mechanics investigating the fluid 

dynamics of biological fluids in the presence of magnetic field. The applications in bioengineering and medicine 

seem to be numerous and the research work is rapidly growing

[1-3]



A biomagnetic fluid is a fluid that exists in a living creature and its flow is influenced by the presence of a 



magnetic field. Biofluids are poor conductors thus, BFD deals with no electric current and the flow is affected 

only by the magnetization of the fluid in the magnetic field. Magnetization is the measure of how much the 

magnetic field is affecting the magnetic fluid and generally is a function of the magnetic field intensity H and the 

temperature T. 

Mathematical models have been developed for the (BFD) in order to examine the flow of a biomagnetic fluid 

under the action of an applied magnetic field. The implementation of these models is based on the modified 

Stokes principles and on the assumption that besides the three thermodynamic variables P, ρ and T the 

biomagnetic fluid behavior is also a function of magnetization M

[4]

. The derived governing equations for 



incompressible fluid flow are similar to those derived for FerroHydroDynamics (FHD)

[5]


 

Unlike MagnetoHydroDynamics (MHD), which deals with conducting fluids, the mathematical model of 

BFD ignores the effect of polarization and magnetization and the induced current is negligibly small. Thus, 

unlike MHD, Lorentz force is much smaller in comparison to the magnetization force. 

The most characteristic biomagnetic fluid is the blood, which can be considered as a magnetic fluid because 

the red blood cells contain the hemoglobin molecule, a form of iron oxides, which is present at a uniquely high 

concentration in the mature red blood cells.  It is found that the erythrocytes orient with their disk plane parallel 

to the magnetic field

[6]

 and also that the blood possesses the property of diamagnetic material when oxygenated 



and paramagnetic when deoxygenated

[7]


. So, blood possesses the property of a magnetic material, and under 

some circumstances, can be considered as diamagnetic, paramagnetic or ferromagnetic fluid

[4]

.    


In the present study a simplification of this mathematical model of BFD is used to obtain numerical solution 

of the differential equations describing the fluid flow (blood) in a rectangular duct under the action of a magnetic 

field. We assume that the magnetization is described by a linear equation involving the magnetic intensity H and 

temperature T

In order to proceed to the numerical solution the stream function-vorticity formulation is adopted 



and the solution of the problem is obtained numerically developing an efficient numerical technique based on the 

upwind finite differences joint with a line by line implicit method.  

The results concerning the velocity and temperature field, skin friction and rate of heat transfer presented, 

showed that the flow is appreciably influenced by the magnetic field. A vortex is arising and the temperature is 

increasing near the area where the dipole is located. These results indicate that application of a magnetic field, in 

the flow of a biomagnetic fluid, could be useful for medical and engineering applications.

2 MATHEMATICAL 

FORMULATION 

We consider the viscous, steady, two-dimensional, incompressible, laminar biomagnetic fluid (blood) flow 

taking place between two parallel flat plates (duct). The length of the plates is L and the distance between them 

is h, such that L/h=7. We assume that the flow at the entrance is fully developed and that the upper plate is kept 

at constant temperature T

u

, while the lower at T



w

, such that T

w

u

. The origin of the Cartesian coordinate system 



is located at the leading edge of the lower plate and the flow is subjected to a magnetic dipole, which is placed 

very close to the lower plate and below it (see Figure 2). We assume blood to be Newtonian fluid and we discard 

the rotational forces acting on the erythrocytes when entering the magnetic field. The equations describing the 

flow field in this duct, under the action of the applied magnetic field, as in FHD, are the continuity, the 

momentum and the energy equations.

whereas the dipole is placed at the point (3,-0.02). The contours of the dimensionless magnetic field strength H 

are shown in Figure 2. 

For the numerical solution we adopt the stream function-vorticity formulation, by introducing the 

dimensionless vorticity function J=J(x,y) and the dimensionless stream function Ψ=Ψ(x,y) defined by the

3.1 Boundary Conditions 

The system of equations (11)~(13) is of elliptic type and boundary conditions are required. All unknown 

quantities at the exit of the duct are assumed to be independent on x (

(R) / x 0

∂ =


). Thus, the outflow 

conditions for all quantities are determined from the interior grid points of the computational domain. The 

boundary conditions for Ψ are also easy implemented from (10), since the 

velocity components are known (fully developed flow at the entrance and no 

slip conditions on the plates). The dimensionless temperature T at the plates is 

also easy calculated from (8) and we additionally assume that in the entrance 

of the duct is independent on the x direction.  

However, in order to solve the vorticity transport equation (12) it is also 

necessary to determine boundary conditions of the vorticity J and this is not an 

easy task. We have already mentioned that at the exit no dependence on the x 

direction is taken into account. Also, at the entrance the use of (10) enable us 

to derive easily the corresponding boundary condition for J. On the contrary, 

the derivation of boundary conditions of J on the solid surfaces (plates) is more 

complicated. Quartapelle and Valz-Gris

[9]

 demonstrated that there is no strictly 



Figure 1. Grid points for 

the calculation of J

i,m

 


E.Tzirtzilakis, N. Kafoussias, P. Hatzikonstantinou 

equivalent local boundary condition available for J. The vorticity is to be computed from the velocity field, but it 

cannot be specified at the boundaries before the problem is solved. 

So, the solution of the problem under consideration is not as simple as it first appears to be, and special 

techniques are needed to utilize the numerical methods. To overcome this difficulty, at each iteration step, 

numerical boundary conditions are constructed for the vorticity J, using the stream function Ψ, as follows.  

We consider an arbitrary boundary grid point (i,m) as shown in Figure 1. The vorticity at the boundary point 

(i,m), provided that the borders are still (u=v=0) is calculated from the formula

The vorticity boundary conditions just derived enable us to solve  (12) provided that the right hand side is 

already known from the previous iteration. However, the determination of 

Ψ

 from (11) depends on the 



distribution of vorticity within the bounded domain. Thus Ψ and J are coupled and an iterative scheme is 

employed. 

 

4 NUMERICAL 

METHOD 

For the numerical solution of the system of equations (11)~(13) we developed an efficient technique, based 

on a combination of existing numerical methods, as follows. Equation (11) is a Poisson equation and can be 

solved fast and efficiently by the use of a simple S.O.R. method. Our main effort will focus on solving the other 

two equations of the system, namely (12) and (13). In order to demonstrate the numerical technique used, we 

will implement it for the first of the two equations, e.g equation (12).       

The unknown function of this equation is the vorticiy J and we use central differencing for the discretization 

of the second order derivatives as well as for the first order derivatives except for 

J / x

∂ ∂ , where we use an 



upwind scheme

[11]


. Thus, with respect to (i,j) point the discretization is:

Equation (16) constitutes a scalar tridiagonal system along each x grid line (i constant) and we solve it using the 

Thomas algorithm. It can be seen that this scheme is implicit, considering each i line constant, and therefore is 

called line by line implicit method

[12]


. The solution of equation (12) is achieved iteratively, by solving, for all i 

lines, the arising tridiagonal systems until the unknown function at all the grid points of the computational 

domain, has been evaluated up to an accuracy e. Equation (13) can be solved in an exactly similar manner.  

We can now proceed to the solution of the system of equations (11)~(13). The first step is to make initial 

guesses for Ψ, T and J at the interior points. Hereafter, considering J constant we obtain a new estimation of Ψ 

by solving (11). The next step is to construct the boundary conditions for J according to the corresponding 

paragraph 3.1. Considering now Ψ known, a new estimation of the vorticity J and temperature T, from equations 

(12) and (13), respectively, is calculated using the line by line implicit method described above. After this cycle 

we compare the new estimations of Ψ, T and J with the old ones, and we seek the difference to be less than a 

quantity ε. If this criterion of convergence is not satisfied we set the new estimations as old and we calculate 

once more the new ones starting again from (11) and so on.

5  RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 

In order to study the biomagnetic fluid flow, in the rectangular duct, under the influence of an applied 

magnetic field, the above described numerical technique was applied to solve the system of equations (11)~(13), 

under the appropriate boundary conditions. For the numerical solution it is necessary to assign values in the 

dimensionless parameters entering into the problem under consideration. For this purpose we consider a realistic 

case in which the fluid is the blood (density

From (18) it is derived that the corresponding Mn for magnetic field strength 8 Tesla at the pole is Mn

We also consider the temperature of the plates to be

temperatures the temperature number ε is equal to 8.  

Although the viscosity

p

c  and the thermal conductivity 

k

 of 


any fluid, and hence of the blood, are temperature dependent, Prandtl number can be considered constant. Thus, 

for the temperature range considered in this problem, the value of 

p

 is equal to 14.65 Joule/kgr

K and 


2.2x10

 Joule/m sec 



o

K, respectively,

[14,15]

 and hence we can consider Pr=20.  For these values of the parameters 



it is also derived that the Eckert number Ec=2.536x10

-7

. For these values of the dimensionless parameters the 



obtained results are shown in Figures 3~7 concerning the velocity field, the temperature field and the coefficients 

of skin friction and rate of heat transfer.   

Figure 3 shows the stream function contours for the values of the above mentioned parameters and for 

magnetic numbers Mn=1000, 1500 and 3000. It is observed that a vortex is arising at the area where the 

magnetic dipole is located. As the magnetic number increases, which means increment of the magnetic field 

strength at the pole as long as the temperature difference is fixed, the vortex is extended. It should be remarked 

that in the absence of the magnetic field (Mn=0) the stream function contours are straight lines and the velocity 

profile u is the same with the one shown at the entrance of the duct in Figure 6. The velocities profiles u along 

specific locations in the duct are shown in Figure 6. At the point x=2.8 the flow is separated from the wall and at 

x=3.0, where the dipole is located, has already reversed near the lower plate. Finally, the flow at the exit x=7 is 

again reverted to fully developed. 

The temperature contours for the same values of the magnetic number Mn are shown in Figure 4. It is 

observed an increment in the temperature of the biofluid near the lower plate where the dipole is located. For 

Mn=3000, this variation of temperature, at different positions in the duct as well as the corresponding contours, 

are shown in Figure 7. It should be remarked, once more, that in the absence of magnetic field the contours of 

temperature are straight lines.    

The most important flow and heat transfer characteristics are the local skin friction coefficient and the local 

rate of heat transfer coefficient. These quantities can be defined by the following relations:

the dimensionless wall heat transfer parameter (( )′=∂( )/∂y). The variation of these mentioned dimensionless 

parameters are shown in Figure 5. The wall shear as well as the heat transfer parameters are more influenced on 

the lower plate, below of which the dipole is located. It is remarkable that the wall shear parameter increases 

rapidly in the region x=2 to x=2.76, where it reaches its maximum value. Very close to the region where the 

dipole is located (x=3), a corresponding decrement take place and at x=3.18 this parameter takes its minimum 

negative value. Finally, far downstream, x=5, the wall shear parameter of both plates, reach its original value 

corresponding to fully developed flow. The wall shear parameter of the upper plate increases near the area of the 

dipole in a smoother way and it does not take negative values as it happens with the lower plate where reverse of 

the flow occurs. Analogous variation is observed for the heat transfer parameter for both plates, but in this case, 

far downstream the value of  T´(x,0) or T´(x,1) is greater that in the area ahead of the region of the dipole.        

 

6.   CONCLUDING REMARKS 

The steady, two dimensional, incompressible, viscous flow of the biomagnetic fluid (blood) in a rectangular 

duct under the influence of an applied magnetic field is studied. The stream function-vorticity formulation is 

adopted and an efficient numerical technique is developed, based on known numerical methods. The obtained 

results showed that near the area were the dipole is located a vortex is arising and the temperature is increasing. 

This phenomenon is extended with the increment of the magnetic field strength, whereas in the absence of the 

magnetic field these disturbances in the flow field are not present. The skin friction and heat transfer coefficients 

are also appreciably influenced particularly on the lower plate. These results indicate that the application of a 

magnetic field, in the flow of a biomagnetic fluid should be further studied for possible useful medical and 

engineering applications
