Annotation This article describes the results of a theoretical study of magnetic fluid two-dimensional Couett flow in magnetic fluid seal model in view of mass transfer processes. It has been shown that very inhomogeneous magnetic field in seal gap lead to magnetic particle concentration rearrangement due to magnetophoresis and Brownian diffusion. In turn, it lead to inhomogeneous magnetic fluid viscosity and change in local and integral shearing force at channel walls. Integral shearing force has been shown to depend on magnetic field and magnetic fluid parameters. Closely-packed fluid density distribution conditions have been defined. Proposed theory covers real magnetic fluid seal performance features adequately.
