We consider a body in a parallel flow of non-interacting particles. One can imagine that the flow is highly rarefied or consists of light rays. The interaction of particles with the body is perfectly elastic. We introduce the notions of a…
We consider a rigid body acted upon by two forces, a constant force and the collective force of interaction with a continuum of particles. We assume that some of the particles that collide with the body reflect elastically (specularly),…
A two-dimensional body, exhibiting a slight rotational movement, moves in a rarefied medium of particles which collide with it in a perfectly elastic way. In previously realized investigations by the first two authors, Plakhov & Gouveia…
We show that there exist bodies with mirror surface invisible from a point in the framework of geometrical optics. In particular, we provide an example of a connected three-dimensional body invisible from one point.
We consider systems of n particles that move with constant velocity between collisions. Their total momentum but not necessarily their kinetic energy is preserved at collisions. As there are no further constraints, these systems are…
We consider a rigid body colliding with a continuum of particles. We assume that the body is moving at a velocity close to an equilibrium velocity V_{\infty} and that the particles colliding with the body reflect diffusely, that is,…
It is shown that the phenomenon of irreversibility in many-body and few-body systems can be explained and described within the framework of the concept of direct (not instantaneous) interaction of particles without using probabilistic…
We introduce and solve in closed form a simple model of a macroscopic body propagating in a one-dimensional resistive medium at temperature T. The assumption of completely inelastic collisions between the body and the particles composing…
We consider a macroscopic body propagating in a one-dimensional resistive medium, consisting of an ideal gas at temperature $T$. For a whole family of collisions with varying degree of inelasticity, we find an exact expression for the…
We consider the problem of motion of several rigid bodies immersed in a perfect compressible fluid. Using the method of convex integration we establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions with {\it a priori} prescribed motion of…
There is proved an existence theorem, in the Newtonian theory, for static, self-gravitating bodies composed of elastic material. The theorem covers the case where these bodies are small, but allows them to have arbitrary shape.
We introduce and study the mechanical system which describes the dynamics and statics of rigid bodies of constant density floating in a calm incompressible fluid. Since much of the standard equilibrium theory, starting with Archimedes,…
A parallel flow of non-interacting point particles is incident on a body at rest. When hitting the body's surface, the particles are reflected elastically. Assume that each particle hits the body at most once (SIC condition); then the force…
We consider a continuum of particles that are acted upon by an external force $\mathbf{G}(t,\mathbf{x})$ and that collide with a rigid body. The body itself is subject to a constant force $E$ as well as to the collective force of…
Explicit solutions of the two-dimensional floating body problem (bodies that can float in all positions) for relative density rho different from 1/2 and of the tire track problem (tire tracks of a bicycle, which do not allow to determine,…
Because active particles break time-reversal symmetry, an active fluid can sustain currents even without an external drive. We show that when a passive body is placed in a fluid of pairwise interacting active particles, it generates…
We consider the dynamics of finite systems of point masses which move along the real line. We suppose the particles interact pairwise and undergo perfectly inelastic collisions when they collide. In particular, once particles collide, they…
Liquids flow, making them remarkably distinct from solids and close to gases. At the same time, interactions in liquids are strong as in solids. The combination of these two properties is believed to be the ultimate obstacle to constructing…
General Principle of Relativity unequivocally supports the notion of momentum-less energy for bodies (energy-quanta) moving at the {\em same} or {\em constant} speed relative to all the reference systems. In this communication, we point out…
In a previous paper (G.Yoneda, Proc.R.Soc.London, A445,(1994),221), we proved the no-interaction theorem for four particles with the assumption that the (linear and angular) momentum on space-like planes is invariant. In this paper, we…
