Title On the stability of uniformly accelerated rotations of a heavy rigid body in an ideal fluid
Author(s) M. V. Deryabin (Moscow)
Abstract The motion of a heavy rigid body in an unbounded volume of an ideal incompressible fluid which performs irrotational motion and is in the state of rest at infinity was considered by S. A. Chaplygin [1] and V. A. Steklov [2]. These authors have found particular solutions of the equations of motion of a rigid body in the cases where this body has a plane of symmetry or an axis of screw symmetry (in the latter case the shape of the body is invariant to the rotation by an angle of 180° about this axis [1]) and formulated the problem of stability of the respective motions. For a body having three mutually orthogonal planes of symmetry, this problem has been solved in [3]. In the present paper, we consider the case where the body has three mutually orthogonal axes of screw symmetry and investigate the first-approximation stability of uniformly accelerated rotations of such a body about its axes of symmetry.
