Quantitative experimental data measuring pressure drop across four flow velocities for Bingham-plastic Magnetorheological (MR) fluids. Developed by Modisaotsile Boniface Kwenakgosi and released through Harvard Dataverse in 2026, the data supports the validation of low-cost characterization hardware for adaptive rehabilitation devices.
Use Cases
- Validating pressure drop predictions for MR fluids using the experimental flow velocity data
- Benchmarking low-cost magnetically induced flow channels against commercial rheometer standards
- Analyzing flow instability and wall slip effects at velocities exceeding 1.0 mm/s
Strengths
- Includes validation against commercial rheometer data
- Provides specific pressure drop measurements for Bingham-plastic fluids
- Documents variability factors like wall slip and flow instability
Limitations
- Small sample size covering only four flow velocities
- Narrow velocity range (0.60 mm/s to 1.15 mm/s) limits generalizability to high-speed systems
