RNG Rigid Body Motion
This note outlines how the coupling between the motion of rigid bodies immersed in a fluid and the motion of this fluid is handled in XNS. For a rigid body one has a group of nodes which define the surface of the rigid body called “reference node group” (RNG). For each RNG we save the properties of motion in arrays which in the following we will call “RNG arrays”. They contain the bottom and to...
متن کاملNon-Rigid Body Motion
During the last few years motion analysis has developed into a major field of interest in image analysis and understanding . Considerable progress has been made as evidenced by the number of publications . However , most of these have been confined to the study of rigid body mot ion . Very few have addressed the issue of non-rigid body motion which poses many interesting and difficult problems ...
متن کاملExtending Special Relativity to Superluminal Motion
Experiments done with single photon in the early 1990’s produced a surprising result: that single photon pass through a photon tunnel barrier with a group velocity faster than the vacuum speed of light. Recently, a series of experiments revealed that electromagnetic wave was able to travel at a group velocity faster than c. These phenomena have been observed in dispersive media. We think all pa...
متن کاملUniformly moving clocks in special relativity : Time dilatation , but no relativity of simultaneity or length contraction
Time-like and space-like invariant space-time intervals are used to analyse measurements of spatial and temporal distances defined by two spatially-separated clocks. The time dilatation effect is confirmed, but not 'relativity of simultaneity' or 'relativistic length contraction'. How these latter, spurious, effects arise from misuse of the Lorentz transformation is also explained. PACS 03.30.+...
