Eight Equilibrium and continuity equations within the material media (2202.02153v1)

Abstract: The paper aims to apply the octonions to explore the torques and forces and so forth in the electromagnetic and gravitational fields, investigating the influences of material media on the equilibrium and continuity equations. The contemporary scholars utilize the quaternions and octonions to research the electromagnetic fields and gravitational fields and so forth. In the paper, the octonions are capable of surveying the electromagnetic and gravitational fields within material media, including the octonion field strength, field source, angular momentum, torque, and force. Further, the octonion field strength and angular momentum can be combined together to become the octonion composite field strength, deducing the octonion composite torque and force and others. When the octonion composite force is equal to zero under certain circumstances, it is able to achieve eight equations independent of each other, including the force equilibrium equation, fluid continuity equation, and current continuity equation and so on. The above reveals that the material media and octonion field strength can make a contribution to the eight equilibrium and continuity equations. And it is beneficial to deepen the understanding of equilibrium and continuity equations within material media.
