Trajectory tracing in figure skating
Meghan Rhodes, Vakhtang Putkaradze
In this work, we model the movement of a figure skater gliding on ice by the Chaplygin sleigh, a classic pedagogical example of a nonholonomic mechanical system. The Chaplygin slei…
Variational geometric approach to the thermodynamics of porous media
François Gay-Balmaz, Vakhtang Putkaradze
Many applications of porous media research involves high pressures and, correspondingly, exchange of thermal energy between the fluid and the matrix. While the system is relatively…
Actively deforming porous media in an incompressible fluid: a variational approach
Tagir Farkhutdinov, François Gay-Balmaz, Vakhtang Putkaradze
Many parts of biological organisms are comprised of deformable porous media. The biological media is both pliable enough to deform in response to an outside force and can deform by…
