Hey all, so i have a cylindrical 1.61 tesla magnet with pole orientations (+)_)- being spun at 350RPMs in a cylindrical body of water. The body of water dimensions are 19inches tall, and 13.5 diameter. The magnet is centered in the container of water.
Also, the magnet is spinning with a propeller on the top of it so it is generating a vortex. the vortex is approximately 6inches in diameter at the surface of the water, and at the point it reaches the magnet it is about 4inches in diameter. I am really trying to determine the change in magnetic flux that way i can determine how much EMF is being produced. :redface: So, if anyone can help me it would be really appreciated.

It doesn't matter whether the water is moving or stationary. Water has relative magnetic permeability = 1 so it has no effect on magnetic flux or field.
