FIGURE 7.11 MDCs penetration depth in the presence of 2 T external magnet (porosity = 0.3,
z = 5 mm).

As shown, in the absence of external magnet, the rate of the penetration depth
decreases excessively as time passes. This is because the gradient of MDCs concen-
tration which causes the diffusion decreases as time passes. However, the presence of
external magnet causes the penetration depth of MDCs to increase constantly. This is
because the magnetic term of MDCs penetration does not decrease with time.
