A. Mahalov et S. Nikitin, POSITION CONTROLLABILITY OF A DEFORMABLE BODY IN IDEAL FLUID, Mathematical models and methods in applied sciences, 7(1), 1997, pp. 139-149
In this paper we formulate the position controllability problem for th
e movement of a flexible body in ideal fluid. We derive generic condit
ions under which the movement of a deformable body is position-control
lable. The general theory developed in this pap er is illustrated with
an example of steering of a flexible domain in ideal irrotational 3-D
flow.
