On The Concept Of Periapsis In Hill’s Problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
The concept of closest approach is analyzed in Hill’s problem, resulting in a partitioning of the position space. The different behavior between the direct and retrograde motion is explained analytically, resulting in a ...
Stability in the Full Two-Body Problem
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2002-05)
Stability conditions are established in the problem of two gravitationally interacting rigid bodies, designated here as the full two-body problem. The stability conditions are derived using basic principles from the N -body ...
Stability of Surface Motion on a Rotating Ellipsoid
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-11)
The dynamical environment on the surface of a rotating, massive ellipsoid is studied, with applications to surface motion on an asteroid. The analysis is performed using a combination of classical dynamics and geometrical ...
Mutual Potential of Homogeneous Polyhedra
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-03)
The mutual gravitational potential between a pair of homogeneous polyhedra is expressed using an infinite series. The nested volume integrals are evaluated analytically and result in simple tensor expressions containing ...
The Influence of Reactive Torques on Comet Nucleus Rotation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-07)
Reactive torques, due to anisotropic sublimation on a comet nucleus surface, produce slow variations of its rotation. In this paper the secular effects of this sublimation are studied. The general rotational equations of ...
Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Extended Hydrodynamics.
(2008)
This dissertation presents a step towards high-order methods for continuum-transition flows.
In order to achieve maximum accuracy and efficiency for numerical methods
on a distorted mesh, it is desirable that both governing ...
