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
Angular velocity which shows a connection with the Lie group of rotations. We prove that angular velocity tensor is skew symmetric, i.e. formula_63 satisfies formula_64. A rotation matrix "A" is orthogonal, inverse to its transpose, so we have formula_65. For formula_66 a frame matrix, taking the time derivative of the equation gives: Applying the formula formula_68, Thus, "W" is the negative of its transpose, which implies it is skew symmetric. At any instant formula_70, the angular velocity tensor represents a linear map between the position vector formula_71 and the velocity vectors formula_72 of a point on a rigid body rotating around the
