Added mass fluid quasi-momentum. Unsteady forces due to a change of the relative velocity of a body submerged in a fluid can be divided into two parts: the virtual mass effect and the Basset force. The origin of the force is that the fluid will gain kinetic energy at the expense of the work done by an accelerating submerged body. It can be shown that the virtual mass force, for a spherical particle submerged in an inviscid, incompressible fluid is where bold symbols denote vectors, formula_2 is the fluid flow velocity, formula_3 is the spherical particle velocity, formula_4 is the mass density
Linear elasticity fourth-order stiffness tensor, formula_8 is the body force per unit volume, formula_9 is the mass density, formula_10 represents the nabla operator, formula_11 represents a transpose, formula_12 represents the second derivative with respect to time, and formula_13 is the inner product of two second-order tensors (summation over repeated indices is implied). Expressed in terms of components with respect to a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system, the governing equations of linear elasticity are: An elastostatic boundary value problem for an isotropic-homogeneous media is a system of 15 independent equations and equal number of unknowns (3 equilibrium equations, 6 strain-displacement equations, and 6 constitutive
