Abstract

We study the motion of the system, \({\mathcal S}\), constituted by a rigid body, \({\mathcal{B}}\), containing in its interior a viscous compressible fluid, and moving in absence of external forces. Our main objective is to characterize the long time behavior of the coupled system body-fluid. Under suitable assumptions on the “mass distribution” of \({\mathcal{S}}\), and for a sufficiently “small” Mach number and initial data, we show that every corresponding motion (in a suitable regularity class) must tend to a steady state where the fluid is at rest with respect to \({\mathscr{B}}\). Moreover, \({\mathcal{S}}\), as a whole, performs a uniform rotation around an axis parallel to the (constant) angular momentum of \({\mathcal{S}}\), and passing through its center of mass.
