The study of the zonal satellite problem is continued by tackling the situation r??. New equations of motion (for which the infinite distance is a singularity) and the corresponding first integrals of energy and angular momentum are set up. The infinity singularity is blown up via McGehee-type transformations, and the infinity manifold is pasted on the phase space. The fictitious flow on this manifold is described. Then, resorting to the rotational symmetry of the problem and to the angular momentum integral, the near-escape local flow is depicted. The corresponding phase curves are interpreted as physical motions.

The force field described by a potential function of the form U = ?n k=1 ak/rk (r = distance between particles, ak = real parameters) models various concrete situations belonging to astronomy, physics, mechanics, astrodynamics, etc. The two-body problem is being tackled in such a field. The motion equations and the first integrals of energy and angular momentum are established. The McGehee-type coordinates are used to blow up the collision singularity and to paste the resulting manifold on the phase space. The flow on the collision manifold is depicted. Then, using the rotational symmetry of the problem and the angular momentum integral, the local flow near collision is described and interpreted in terms of physical motion.

This chapter studies how the ‘spacetime symmetries’ can generate first integrals of the equations of motion which simplify their solution and also make it possible to define conserved quantities, or ‘charges’, characterizing the system. As already mentioned in the introduction to matter energy–momentum tensors in Chapter 3, the concepts of energy, momentum, and angular momentum are related to the invariance properties of the solutions of the equations of motion under spacetime translations or rotations. The chapter explores these in greater detail. It first turns to isometries and Killing vectors. The chapter then examines the first integrals of the geodesic equation, and Noether charges.

In this chapter, the Poisson bracket and angular momentum are investigated and first integrals are used to develop conservation laws as a canonical Noether’s theorem. The Poisson bracket was developed by the French mathematician Poisson in the late nineteenth century and it is a reformulation, or at least a tidying up, of Hamilton’s equations into one neat package. The Poisson bracket of a quantity with the Hamiltonian describes the time evolution of that quantity as one moves along a curve in phase space. The Lie algebra structure of symmetries in mechanics is highlighted using this formulation. The classical propagator is derived using the Poisson bracket.

Results of 3D numerical simulations of the gas transfer in close binary systems show that it is possible the production of accretion streams having low specific angular momentum in a region close to the accreting star. These streams are mainly placed above the orbital disc. The eventual formation of such bulges and shock heated flows is interesting in the context of advection dominated solutions and for the explanation of spectral properties of the Black Hole candidates in binary systems. We set up a parallelized version of 3D S.P.H. code, using domain decomposion. with increasing spatial resolution around the compact star.

AbstractWe generalize previous works on the Dirac eigenvalues as dynamical variables of Euclidean gravity and N =1 D = 4 supergravity to on-shell N = 2 D = 4 Euclidean supergravity. The covariant phase space of the theory is defined as the space of the solutions of the equations of motion modulo the on-shell gauge transformations. In this space we define the Poisson brackets and compute their value for the Dirac eigenvalues.

Section-averaged equations of motion, widely adopted for slowly varying flows in pipes, channels and thin films, are usually derived from the momentum integral on a heuristic basis, although this formulation is affected by known inconsistencies. We show that starting from the energy rather than the momentum equation makes it become consistent to first order in the slowness parameter, giving the same results that have been provided until today only by a much more laborious two-dimensional solution. The kinetic-energy equation correctly provides the pressure gradient because with a suitable normalization the first-order correction to the dissipation function is identically zero. The momentum equation then correctly provides the wall shear stress. As an example, the classical stability result for a free falling liquid film is recovered straightforwardly.

Motivated by the Hamilton–Jacobi approach of constrained systems, we analyze the classical structure of a four-dimensional superstring. The equations of motion for a singular system are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The path integral quantization based on Hamilton–Jacobi approach is applied to quantize the system, and the integration is taken over the canonical phase space coordinates.

This paper presents a differential-geometric approach to the multibody system dynamics regarded as a point dynamics in a n-dimensional configuration space Rn. This configuration space becomes a Riemannian space Vn the metric of which is defined by the kinetic energy of the multibody system (MBS). Hence, all concepts and statements of the Riemannian geometry can be used to study the dynamics of MBS. One of the key points is to set up the non-linear Lagrangian motion equations of tree-like MBS as well as of constrained mechanical systems, the perturbed equations of motion, and the motion equations of hybrid MBS in a derivative-free manner. Based on this approach transformation properties can be investigated for application in real-time simulation, control theory, Hamilton mechanics, the construction of first integrals, stability etc. Finally, a general Lyapunov-stable force control law for underactuated systems is given that demonstrates the power of the approach in high-performance sports applications.

Recent experience has shown that a plate-like load suspended beneath a helicopter moving in horizontal forward flight has unstable characteristics at both low and high forward speeds. These findings have prompted a theoretical analysis to determine the longitudinal and lateral dynamic stability of a suspended pallet. Only the longitudinal stability is considered here. Although it is strictly a non-linear problem, the usual assumptions have been made to obtain linearized equations of motion. The aerodynamic derivative data required for these equations have been obtained, where possible, for the appropriate ranges of Reynolds and Strouhal number by means of static and dynamic wind tunnel testing. The resulting stability equations (with full aerodynamic derivative information) have been set up and solved, on a digital computer, to give direct indication of a stable or unstable system for a combination of physical parameters. These results have indicated a longitudinal unstable mode for all practical forward speeds. Simultaneously the important stability derivatives were found for this instability and modifications were made subsequently in the suspension system to eliminate the instabilities in the longitudinal sense. Throughout this paper, all metric dimensions are given approximately.

In this paper we define a noncommutative (NC) metafluid dynamics.1,2 We applied the Dirac's quantization to the metafluid dynamics on NC spaces. First class constraints were found which are the same obtained in Ref. 4. The gauge covariant quantization of the nonlinear equations of fields on noncommutative spaces were studied. We have found the extended Hamiltonian which leads to equations of motion in the gauge covariant form. In addition, we show that a particular transformation3 on the usual classical phase space (CPS) leads to the same results as of the ⋆-deformation with ν = 0. Besides, we have shown that an additional term is introduced into the dissipative force due to the NC geometry. This is an interesting feature due to the NC nature induced into model.
