The Kirchhoff problem for a neutrally buoyant rigid body dynamically interacting with an ideal fluid is considered. Instead of the standard Kirchhoff equations, equations of motion in which the pressure terms appear explicitly are considered. These equations are shown to satisfy a Hamiltonian constraint formalism, with the pressure playing the role of the Lagrange multiplier. The constraint is imposed on the shape of a compact fluid surface whose dynamics is governed by the canonical variables introduced by Zakharov for a free-surface. It is also shown that the assumption of neutral buoyancy can be relaxed.
Keywords: Kirchhoff's equations, Zakharov's equations, pressure., Hamiltonian formalism, constraints.
