Spreading of a water based ferrofluid core, cladded by diamagnetic fluid, in three-stream micromixer channels was studied. This spreading, induced an external magnetic field, is known as magnetofluidic spreading (MFS). MFS useful for various novel applications where control fluid-fluid interface desired, such micromixers or micro-chemical reactors. However, fundamental aspects are still unclear, and model without correction factors lacking. Hence, this work, both experimental numerical...
