Without external magnetic field flows are stable and pro-grade with respect to the rotation of the inner cylinder. More complex behaviors can arise when an axial or a transverse magnetic field is applied. Depending on the direction and strength of the field, multi-stable wavy states and bifurcations can occur. We uncover the phenomenon of flow pattern reversal as the strength of the magnetic field is increased through a critical value. In between the regimes of pro-grade and retrograde flow rotations, standing waves with zero angular velocities can emerge. A striking finding is that, under a transverse magnetic field, a second reversal in the flow pattern direction can occur, where the flow pattern evolves into pro-grade rotation again from a retrograde state. Flow reversal is relevant to intriguing phenomena in nature such as geomagnetic reversal. Our results suggest that, in ferrofluids, flow pattern reversal can be induced by varying a magnetic field in a controlled manner, which can be realized in laboratory experiments with potential applications in the development of modern fluid devices.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1038/srep18589","ddc":["530","540"],"oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"No","publisher":"Nature Publishing Group","pubrep_id":"472","tmp":{"short":"CC BY (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"type":"journal_article","isi":1,"date_updated":"2025-09-23T09:32:24Z","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:52:53Z","day":"21","publication_status":"published","article_type":"original","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","department":[{"_id":"BjHo"}],"oa":1,"volume":5,"article_number":"18589","quality_controlled":"1","external_id":{"isi":["000367075500002"]},"publist_id":"5582","scopus_import":"1","month":"12","_id":"1589","title":"Magnetic field induced flow pattern reversal in a ferrofluidic Taylor-Couette system","publication":"Scientific Reports","file_date_updated":"2020-07-14T12:45:03Z"}
