Reflection of Parallel Rays by a Two-Dimensional Body of Nearly Maximal Resistance
Reflection of Parallel Rays by a Two-Dimensional Body of Nearly Maximal Resistance
This Demonstration shows a class of nonconvex bodies that maximize resistance as they move forward while slowly rotating through a rarefied medium. This class of shapes yields a resistance very close to the theoretical maximum, improving all previous results found by the authors.
