Time-dependent CFD and quasi-static analysis of magnetorheological fluid dampers with experimental validation

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers can be controlled effectively by a magnetic field and with minimum power requirement. Under the magnetic field. MR fluid behaves as a non-Newtonian fluid with controllable viscosity. Damper performance can be enhanced by getting to know better the non-Newtonian flow in the annular gap of piston head.
