Two and Three Dimensional Monte Carlo Simulation of Magnetite Nanoparticle Based Ferrofluids

Abstract

We have simulated a magnetite nanoparticle based ferrofluid using Monte Carlo method. Two and three dimensional Monte Carlo simulations have been done using parallel computing technique. The aggregation and rearrangement of nanoparticles embedded in a liquid carrier have been studied in various particle volume fractions. Our simulation results are in complete agreement with the reported experimental observations. We have also checked the accuracy of our results with the predictions of theoretical expressions. In addition, we have applied the distributed computing method to reduce the run time of the program
