Hello desA,
Have you ever engaged in any wild speculation such as applications of Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluid flows to quantum mechanics, and EM phenomena in general. Some people have come up with revised interpretations of Schrodinger's equation for atoms based on a Navier-Stokes approach. It is very controversial, but interesting.
If you would like to see some motivation for a neo-classical approach to atomic scale physics, please see
www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw . I am always ready to discuss the issues raised there.
Again, welcome to the forum,
Rob
Ahah, at last someone I can discuss this level of detail with... I'll come over & visit. Thanks so much for your link.
A sneak preview - the Navier-Stokes equations are naturally quasi-linear parabolic wave equations. In tensor form they are a dead give-away. I've got all types of interesting vector plots running at the moment. The acceleration field is rather revealing.
