Analogue of the free-path length near the aircrafts of a complicated shape
by
Alena Aleksenko
University of Aveiro, Department of Mathematics, Portugal

We consider aircrafts in a rarefied medium. Complication of the shape allows minimizing of the resistance; at the same time numerous flows’s covering contradict to the rarity condition. We suggest a way to measure the complexity of aircrafts in terms of free-path length.
