Essential Infinite Order Non-PDE Behavior in Continuum Mechanics: Corrections to Hydrodynamics and Diffusion
Clifford Chafin
Longstanding problems regarding the causality of the diffusion equation are resolved through a class of exact solutions. A universal differential solution for diffusive processes i…
Wave-Flow Interactions and Acoustic Streaming
Clifford E. Chafin
The interaction of waves and flows is a challenging topic where a complete resolution has been frustrated by the essential nonlinear features in the hydrodynamic case. Even in the…
Quantum Corrections to Classical Kinetics: the Weight of Rotation
Clifford Chafin
Hydrodynamics of gases in the classical domain are examined from the perspective that the gas has a well-defined wavefunction description at all times. Specifically, the internal e…
The Absence of Stokes Drift in Waves
Clifford Chafin
Stokes drift has been as central to the history of wave theory as it has been distressingly absent from experiment. Neither wave tanks nor experiments in open bodies detect this wi…
Thermalization of Gases: A First Principles Approach
Clifford Chafin
Previous approaches of emergent thermalization for condensed matter based on typical wavefunctions are extended to generate an intrinsically quantum theory of gases. Gases are fund…
Two Experimental Tests to Distinguish Decoherence from the Slicing Theory of Measurement
Clifford Chafin
Here we propose a pair of experiments to distinguish the recently proposed "slicing theory" of quantum measurement, which gives a transient many worlds picture, and decoherence. Si…
