Abstract
This paper investigates consequences of two philosophical assumptions. One is that fundamental particles of matter are describable mathematically as fluid dynamic states in the ether. The other is that in such descriptions there is no unique ether fluid to be used, but rather various equivalent mathematical descriptions of a given phenomenon can be found using different ether fluids chosen within some specified constraints. To give credence to the philosophical assumptions we explore some properties of compressible-fluid sinks. We determine their interactive and overall inertial properties, and compare these to those of electrons. This comparison yields a tentative mechanical interpretation of the basic nature of the Lorentz transformation, charged particles, the electromagnetic fields and relativistic dynamics. The findings suggest that a mathematical description of such phenomena may be found within the field of classical fluid dynamics.
