Abstract

An exact analogy of electromagnetic fields and particles can be found in continuum mechanics of a turbulent perfect fluid with voids. Deviations of the turbulence from a homogeneous isotropic state correspond to electromagnetic fields, with the average pressure as electrostatic potential, the average fluid velocity as magnetic vector potential and the density of the average turbulence energy as electromotive force. The waves of turbulence perturbation model the electromagnetic waves. Cavities of the fluid serve as walls to support stationary perturbations of turbulence. Cavitation of the turbulent noncorpuscular fluid occurring in the presence of voids leads to formation of dilatational inclusions of empty space and of the quiescent fluid. These model the positive and negative electrically charged particles, respectively. Due to the dilatation, the inclusions interact with the turbulence perturbation fields. This looks exactly as interaction of the charges with the electromagnetic fields. Splitting and dispersion of an inclusion in the stochastic environment model delocalization of a quantum particle.
