Abstract
We consider the dynamics of a rod on the plane in a flow of non-interacting point particles moving at a fixed speed. When colliding with the rod, the particles are reflected elastically and then leave the plane of motion of the rod and do not interact with it. A thin unbending weightless “knitting needle” is fastened to the
massive rod. The needle is attached to an anchor point and can rotate freely about it. The particles do not interact with the needle.
The equations of dynamics are obtained, which are piecewise analytic: the phase space is divided into four regions where the analytic formulas are different. There are two fixed points of the system, corresponding to the position of the rod parallel to the flow velocity, with the anchor point at the front and the back. It is found that the former point is topologically a stable focus, and the latter is topologically a saddle. A qualitative description of the phase portrait of the system is obtained.
期刊介绍：
Regular and Chaotic Dynamics (RCD) is an international journal publishing original research papers in dynamical systems theory and its applications. Rooted in the Moscow school of mathematics and mechanics, the journal successfully combines classical problems, modern mathematical techniques and breakthroughs in the field. Regular and Chaotic Dynamics welcomes papers that establish original results, characterized by rigorous mathematical settings and proofs, and that also address practical problems. In addition to research papers, the journal publishes review articles, historical and polemical essays, and translations of works by influential scientists of past centuries, previously unavailable in English. Along with regular issues, RCD also publishes special issues devoted to particular topics and events in the world of dynamical systems.
