Translation of "Methodus succincta summas serierum infinitarum per formulas differentiales investigandi" (1780). Euler wants to represent some given series of functions S(x)=X(x)+X(x+1)+X(x+2)+etc. in a different way. He writes S as a…
We consider the motion of several solids in a bounded cavity filled with a perfect incompressible fluid, in two dimensions. The solids move according to Newton's law, under the influence of the fluid's pressure, and the fluid dynamics is…
Astrophysical outflows are ubiquitous across cosmic scales, from stellar to galactic systems. While diverse launching mechanisms have been proposed, we demonstrate that these outflows share a fundamental commonality: their morphology…
It has been demonstrated that the Euler equations of inviscid fluid are incomplete: according to the principle of release of constraints, absence of shear stresses must be compensated by additional degrees of freedom, and leads to…
In this paper, we derive entropy estimates for a class of schemes for the Euler equations which present the following features: they are based on the internal energy equation (eventually with a positive corrective term at the righ-hand-side…
Hydrodynamic bores are front-type traveling wave solutions to the two-layer free boundary Euler equations in two dimensions. The velocity field in each layer is assumed to be incompressible and irrotational, and it limits to distinct…
We consider an inverse problem for the compressible Euler's equations in polytropic fluid. We show that by taking active measurements near a particle trajectory one can determine the background flow in a set where pressure waves can…
We present a pedagogical review of old inconsistencies of Classical Electrodynamics and of some new ideas that solve them. Problems with the electron equation of motion and with the non-integrable singularity of its self-field energy tensor…
Impulse formulations of the Euler (and Navier-Stokes) equations were considered by Kuz'min [1] and Oseledets [2] and different impulse formulations are produced by various gauge transformations (Russo and Smereka[3]). The extension of the…
This paper studies the inverse problem related to the identification of the flexural stiffness of an Euler Bernoulli beam in order to reconstruct its profile starting from available response data. The proposed identification procedure makes…
It is shown that a chain of closed systems of first order ordinary differential equations describing the evolution of moments can be constructed using the Jacobi equation. It is shown that Wronsky determinants for fundamental matrices of…
"Bernoulli" levitation is the basis of many popular counter-intuitive physics demonstrations. However, few of these lend themselves to a quantitative description without recourse to computational fluid dynamics. Levitation of a flat plate…
Non-stationary Euler flows of gases are studied. The system of differential equations describing such flows can be represented by means of 2-forms on zero-jet space and we get some exact solutions by means of such a representation.…
In this paper, basing on a generalized Newtonian dynamics (GND) approach which has been proposed elsewhere we present a conjecture for turbulent flow. We firstly utilize the GND to reasonably unify the two phenomenological methods recently…
We are concerned with a time periodic supersonic flow through a bounded interval. This motion is described by the compressible Euler equation with a time periodic outer force. Our goal in this paper is to prove the existence of a time…
In a previous work of the first authors, a non-holonomic model, generalising the micromorphic models and allowing for curvature (disclinations) to arise from the kinematic values, was presented. In the present paper, a generalisation of the…
The time irreversibility problem is the dichotomy of the reversible microscopic dynamics and the irreversible macroscopic physics. This problem was considered by Boltzmann, Poincar\'e, Bogolyubov and many other authors and though some…
A short historical account of the curves related to the two-dimensional floating bodies of equilibrium and the bicycle problem is given. Bor, Levi, Perline and Tabachnikov found, quite a number had already been described as Elastica by…
In this paper, we study the control system associated with the incompressible 3D Euler system. We show that the velocity field and pressure of the fluid are exactly controllable in projections by the same finite-dimensional control.…
We introduce a series of numbers which serve as a generalization of Bernoulli, Euler numbers and binomial coefficients. Their properties are applied to solve a probability problem and suggest a statistical test for independence and…
