Purcell's scallop theorem defines the type of motions of a solid body - reciprocal motions - which cannot propel the body in a viscous fluid with zero Reynolds number. For example, the flapping of a wing is reciprocal and, as was recently…

We determine the general form of the potential of the problem of motion of a rigid body about a fixed point, which allows the angular velocity to remain permanently in a principal plane of inertia of the body. Explicit solution of the…

We construct a class of global, dynamical solutions to the 3d Euler equations near the stationary state given by uniform "rigid body" rotation. These solutions are axisymmetric, of Sobolev regularity, have non-vanishing swirl and scatter…

An invertible field transformation is such that the old field variables correspond one-to-one to the new variables. As such, one may think that two systems that are related by an invertible transformation are physically equivalent. However,…

Expositions of the Euler equations for the rotation of a rigid body often invoke the idea of a specially damped system whose energy dissipates while its angular momentum magnitude is conserved in the body frame. An attempt to explicitly…

The general 4D rotation matrix is specialised to the general 3D rotation matrix by equating its leftmost top element (a00) to 1. Its associate matrix of products of the left-hand and right-hand quaternion components is specialised…

A transformation is derived which takes Lorenz integrable system into the well-known Euler equations of a free-torque rigid body with a fixed point, i.e. the famous motion \`a la Poinsot. The proof is based on Lie group analysis applied to…

The Euler-Poisson equations para determinar the rotation matrix of a rigid body can be solved without using of particular parameterization like the Euler angles. For the free Lagrange top, we obtain and discuss a general analytic solution,…
