The six-degree equations of flight in their classic form do not provide a proper physical perception due to a number of interferences. Nor do they render visible the important role of attack angles. In this study, attempts have been made to develop a complete set of 3D acceleration equations from the equations of normal and tangential acceleration αN=vωv, αt=v ̇. For this purpose, a coordinate s...

An accurate Fourier–Chebyshev spectral collocation method has been developed for simulating flow past prolate spheroids. The incompressible Navier–Stokes equations are transformed to the prolate spheroidal co-ordinate system and discretized on an orthogonal body fitted mesh. The infinite flow domain is truncated to a finite extent and a Chebyshev discretization is used in the wall-normal direct...

The one-fluid visco-resistive MHD model provides a description of the dynamics of a charged fluid under the influence of an electromagnetic field. This model is strongly coupled, highly nonlinear, and characterized by physical mechanisms that span a wide range of interacting time scales. Solutions of this system can include very fast component time scales to slowly varying dynamical time scales...

Applying the point of view non-holonomic mechanics, we arrive at a new and simple system equations for normal sub-Riemannian geodesics. These use partial connection that is canonically available, given choice complement to distribution. We also describe conditions which, if satisfied, mean even this determined canonically, determines distinguished on tangent bundle. The geodesic obtained split ...
