Abstract:
We give a predictive theory of the collisions of a viscous incompressible fluid with solids. The theory is based on interior percussions which account for the very large stresses and contact forces resulting from the kinematic incompatibilities responsible for the collision. New equation of motion and constitutive laws result from the theory. Examples dealing with a fluid colliding with its container and with a diver impacting the water of a swimming pool are studied.
