Objective Nontensor Rheology: Unique Flow Decompositions from Correlated Microscopic Motions
Clifford Chafin
The use of continuum mechanics and invariants built from the deviator as an adequate foundation for rheology has been recently disputed by this author. Here we give a specific exam…
Inconsistencies in the Notions of Acoustic Stress and Streaming
Clifford Chafin
Inviscid hydrodynamics mediates forces through pressure and other, typically irrotational, external forces. Acoustically induced forces must be consistent with arising from such a…
Corrected Wavemaker Theory, Momentum Flux and Vorticity
Clifford Chafin
The usual wavemaker theory hides an unjustified integration constant assumption that renders it invalid. We discuss some surprising subtleties of momentum flux in infinite waves, p…
A Set of Statistical Variables for Hydrodynamic Flow
Clifford Chafin
Through a discussion of some typical unsteady hydrodynamic flows, we argue that the time averaged hydrodynamic functions at each point give a rather sparse filling of the local jet…
Hidden Invariants in Rheology: The Persistent Granular Nature of Liquids
Clifford Chafin
This article will use arguments derived from the deformation driven component of mixing, especially important for microfluidics, to show that the standard invariant based approache…
