Abstract in another language
We investigate the growth of a pattern of liquid crests emerging in a layer of magnetic liquid when subjected to a magnetic field oriented normally to the fluid surface. After a step like increase of the magnetic field, the temporal evolution of the pattern amplitude is measured by means of a Hall‐sensor array. The extracted growth rate is compared with predictions from linear stability analysis by taking into account the nonlinear magnetization curve M (H). The remaining discrepancy can be resolved by numerical calculations via the finite element method. By starting with a finite surface perturbation it can reproduce the temporal evolution of the pattern amplitude and the growth rate.
