Abstract

The Lagally theorem for unsteady flow expresses the forces and moments acting on a rigid body moving in an inviscid and incompressible fluid in terms of the singularities of the analytically continued flow within the body. Previous generalizations of the Lagally theorem, originally given by Lagally (1922) for steady flows, are due to Cummins (1957) and Landweber & Yih (1956), who consider the effect of flow unsteadiness on the forces and moments. In these, the system of image singularities within the body was assumed to consist of isolated or continuous (surface or volume) distributions of sources and doublets. A further extension of Lagally's theorem ie due to Landweber (1967), who derived expressions for the steady forces and moments acting on a rigid body generated by isolated or a continuous distribution of multipoles. The purpose of the present paper is to generalize the Lagally theorem so as to include the effects of multipoles in unsteady flow, and deformability of the body, as well as to present a briefer derivation of the resulting formulae. Two examples, illustrating the application of the force and moment formulae, will be presented.
