Applying the variational principle to the derivation of nonlinear equations of perturbed motion for the system body-liquid
Abstract
The Ostrogradskii variational principle is applied systematically to the derivation of nonlinear equations describing the three-dimensional motion of a rigid body with a liquid-filled cavity. The Lagrange function is selected in the form of two components, one component representing the kinetic potential of the body and the other being the pressure integral of the liquid-filled volume. For certain assumptions about the parameters characterizing the deviation of the free liquid surface, a system of linear equations of motion is obtained for the case of cavities formed by coaxial cylinders.
