On the Shape Dependence of the Tangential Casimir Force
arXiv:1304.5375 · doi:10.1134/S1547477113060174
Abstract
The normal and tangential Casimir force for the rack gear is calculated numerically in the case of ideal boundary conditions for the electromagnetic field - perfect reflection on the boundaries. The resulting tangential force appears to be essentially shape dependent. Relatively small shape variations lead to the essential changes in tangential force, whereas normal force remains almost unchanged.
