Abstract

A new model of a micropolar continuum is considered. This mathematical model has been created in order to simulate thermo- and electromagnetic processes. Our method is based on the following reasoning. In the framework of our model, we introduce mechanical analogies of physical quantities such as temperature, entropy, the electric field vector, the magnetic induction vector etc. Then, we show that under certain assumptions the equations of our model coincide with well-known equations, in particular, with Maxwell’s equations. Next, we explore the properties of our mathematical model in its general form. Following the terminology of 19th-century scientists, we call our model the ether model, though in its mathematical content, it differs from the 19th-century ether models very significantly.
