Title On the problem of three-dimensional deceleration of a rigid body in a resistant medium
Author(s) M. V. Shamolin (Moscow)
Abstract Deceleration of a rigid body in a resistant medium is considered, a type of motion which is encountered in many practical applications. It is assumed that a homogeneous axisymmetric body interacts with the flow only at the front portion of its outer surface and that the interacting portion has the shape of a flat circular disk. The experiments carried out for circular cylinders [1] have shown that the rectilinear translational motion along the axis of symmetry of the disk is unstable.

Under simplifying assumptions on the flow-induced forces, it is shown that the body cannot perform finite-amplitude oscillations.

The exact analytical description of the flow-induced forces and torques acting on the disk is not available. Therefore, the problem is treated by its "embedding" into a wider problem class. This enables one to obtain relatively complete qualitative description of the body motion under the adopted model assumptions.

Despite some technical difficulties, it is possible to obtain several particular solutions for the dynamical systems under consideration and to construct families of phase portraits in the three-dimensional space of quasivelocities, each family consisting of a countable set of portraits with nonequivalent trajectories and possessing different nonlinear qualitative properties.
