Reflection of parallel rays by a two-dimensional body of nearly maximal resistance
| Resumo: | 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. |
