Abstract

We consider the problem of motion of several rigid bodies immersed in a perfect compressible fluid. Using the method of convex integration we establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions with a priori prescribed motion of rigid bodies. In particular, the dynamics is completely time–reversible at the motion of rigid bodies although the solutions comply with the standard entropy admissibility criterion.
