Annotation We study the unidirectional motion of spherical ferromagnetic particles suspended in a viscous liquid and subjected to the action of an external periodic force and a non-uniformly rotating magnetic field. In the case when the translational and rotational motions of particles are characterized by small Reynolds numbers, we propose a system of equations that describes their dynamics and that accounts for the influence of the Magnus force. Theoretical and numerical analysis of the steady-state solution of this system of equations is carried out, the average velocity of unidirectional (drift) motion of particles is calculated, and the dependence of the average velocity on the characteristics of particles, liquid, external force and magnetic field is studied.
