Abstract

Many types of common objects, such as tools and vehicles, usually move in simple ways when they are wielded or driven: The natural axes of the object tend to remain aligned with the local trihedron defined by the object's trajectory. The alignment can be verified by analysis of the flow field generated by the moving object; this is illustrated here for three examples, involving a wrench, a saw and a van.
