On the dynamics of rotating rigid tube and its interaction with air
Yifan Liu
Abstract:Rotating an axially symmetric rigid body on a horizontal plane is rather a common and simple experience, but this experience has attracted a great deal of interests due to it exhibiting novel features and containing fairly complicated mechanics. This paper is concerned with the three-dimensional rotational motion of a rigid tube on a plane. We present the governing dynamical equations of this motion and give a numerical treatment, based on which we discuss the nutation of tube and simulate the trajectory of tu… Show more
