We investigate the cluster formations and dynamics in a magnetorheological fluid under a rotational magnetic field focusing on the case of a relatively high volume fraction. We find that isotropic disklike clusters, which rotate more slowly than the field rotation, are formed at low Mason numbers (the ratio of viscous to magnetic forces) and, what is more, we show short rod clusters, which rotate stably thanks to the low Mason numbers and circulate along the surface of the disklike clusters. The circulation velocity of the surface particles is much higher than the rotational surface velocity of the rigid disklike clusters.
