Axisymmetric Ellipsoids in Ideal Fluids,

Abstract

The report, the pressure acting on an axisymmetric ellipsoid in general motion is obtained. The forces and moments on the ellipsoid are then calculated. The behavior of the pressure, forces, and moments is then examined as the ellipsoid becomes slender. (Author)
