Magnetic fluid seals are widely used technical applications of magnetic fluid. This paper presents a numerical simulation model to obtain the boundary of magnetic fluid in seals. The magnetic field in the seal is solved by finite element method, and the boundary is calculated by using Navier-Stokes equations in magnetic fluid. In order to observe the surface and obtain the seal capacity, the plane magnetic fluid seal experiment is carried out. The relationship between the seal capacity and the magnetic fluid volume is presented. The seal capacity which is obtained by the theoretical analysis has well congruence with the result of the experiment. The displacement of boundary with the pressure difference is quantitatively depicted.
