Abstract

In this paper, we propose and analyze a first-order, semi-implicit, and unconditionally energy-stable scheme for an incompressible ferrohydrodynamics flow. We consider the constitutive equation describing the behavior of magnetic fluid provided by Shliomis, which consists of the Navier-Stokes equation, the magnetization equation, and the magnetostatics equation. By using an existing regularization method, we derive some prior estimates for the solutions. We then bring up a rigorous error analysis of the temporal semi-discretization scheme based on these prior estimates. Through a series of experiments, we verify the convergence and energy stability of the proposed scheme and simulate the behavior of ferrohydrodynamics flow in the background of practical applications.
