Note on the fall of an axisymmetric body in a perfect fluid over a horizontal ramp (Q1632817)

The authors investigate the fall of an axisymmetric body in a perfect fluid over a ramp. From the authors' abstract: It was shown by \textit{A. Munnier} and \textit{K. Ramdani} [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 47, No. 6, 4360--4403 (2015; Zbl 1333.35208)] that the possibility of a collision between the body and the ramp is related to the asymptotics of the so-called added mass when the distance between the ramp and the body goes to \(0\). We propose here a new method to compute this added mass, which provides simultaneously an approximation of an associated fluid velocity field in the gap between the ramp and the body.
