Simulation of Magnetophoretic Separation Processes in Dispersions of Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles in the Noncooperative Regime

Figure 4

Series of snapshots extracted from simulations comparing the time evolution of the separation process in the closed-geometry (upper row) and open-geometry (bottom row) schemes. The snapshots are taken from a top view of the cylindrical separator with radial geometry. The different snapshots correspond to different times during separation (𝑡₀=0, 𝑡₁=1×10⁵ s, 𝑡₂=2×10⁵ s and 𝑡₃=5×10⁵ s).
