454 HYDROMECHANICS [HYDRODYNAMICS. On the Motion of a Solid through a Liquid. If we take an origin 0, and axes Ox, Oy, Oz fixed in the body, then, if u, v, w, p, q, r denote the component linear and angular velocities of the body at any instant, the velocity function <f> = u^i l + v^., + tfvJ/3 +p Xl + q x . 2 + rx 3 , where the <J/ s and x s are functions of x, y, z, depending only upon the shape of the body. To determine ^ 1( we may suppose the velocity u only to exist, and thus f/ l must satisfy the conditions (i) V 3 ^ = ; (ii ^b = l the cosine of the angle between the normal to an the surface and the axis of x, at the surface of the moving body ; ( iii} -^ = 0, over a fixed surface. v dn Similarly for >|/ 2 and <f/ 3 . To determine xi> we may suppose the velocity p only to exist, and and then, I, m, n being the direction-cosines of the normal to the surface, xi satisfies the conditions (i) V 2 Xi = <>; (jj) -2ti = ny - mz at the surface of the moving body ; (iii) 1*! = at a fixed surface. dn Similarly for x-z and xa- For a cavity filled with liquid in the interior of a moving body, since the liquid moves as if solid when the moving body has a motion of translation only, therefore ^i = ~> t-2 = y , ^ = z - The only cases practically solved are those where the bounding surfaces are similar or confocal surfaces of the second degree. Ex. 1. Consider the space between the ellipsoid -^+~ + Ar= 1 a* o- c 2 and a similar and similarly situated ellipsoid rigidly connected with 7,2 _ C 2 it ; then obviously xi = . 5 2/s, as for plane motion; and therefore 0" + C 1 <f> = ux + vy + wz +p -j- b* The liquid filling this space will behave therefore like a body of 2 2 2 2 % 2 equal mass, and of principal radii of gyration of the radii of gyration if the liquid were solidified.
