A body $\mathscr B$ moves in an unbounded Navier-Stokes liquid by time-independent translatory motion. Suppose that at time $t=0$, $\mathscr B$ smoothly changes its motion to an arbitrary rigid motion, reached at time $t=1$. We then show…
We study the motion of a rigid body $\mathscr B$ subject to an undamped elastic restoring force, in the stream of a viscous liquid $\mathscr L$. The motion of the coupled system $\mathscr B$-$\mathscr L\equiv\mathscr S$ is driven by a…
A body $\mathscr B$ is started from rest by translational motion in an otherwise quiescent Navier-Stokes liquid filling the whole space. We show, for small data, that if after some time $\mathscr B$ reaches a spinless oscillatory motion of…
