On the Motion of a Liquid-Filled Rigid Body Subject to a Time-Periodic Torque

  • Chapter
Recent Developments of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the existence of time-periodic motions of a system constituted by a rigid body with an interior cavity completely filled with a viscous liquid, and subject to a time-periodic external torque acting on the rigid body. We then show that the system of equations governing the motion of the coupled system liquid-filled rigid body, has at least one corresponding time-periodic weak solution. Furthermore if the size of the torque is below a certain constant, the weak solution is in fact strong.

Dedicated, with friendship and admiration, to Professor Yoshihiro Shibata, on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Notes

  1. 1.

    We adopt summation convention over repeated indices.

  2. 2.

    The same argument does not work for \(\boldsymbol{A}_{n}\), i.e. the solution map does not necessarily lie in \(\mathbb{B}_{R_{1}}\) for all times t ∈ [0, T]. This is the reason for which we have used the linear homotopy for the \(\boldsymbol{A}_{n}\) component.

  3. 3.

    The stated continuity property of \(\mathop{\mathrm{grad}}\boldsymbol{ V }\) follows from classical interpolation results; see, e.g., [13, Théorème 2.1].
