Right-angle two-rod resistance matrix
ID: right-angle-two-rod-resistance-matrix
For two perpendicular rods of length joined at one endpoint, the slender-body force density gives translation resistance , rotation resistance , and translation–rotation block . The opposite block is its transpose. Here is the torque about the joint and the force on the fluid. Integrating along each rod proves the entries and makes the symmetry and positivity of a rigid-body resistance matrix explicit.
