THE SANNER MODEL - CFD simulation of aether flow

This paper provides a practical guide for simulating aether flow in The Sanner Model (TSM) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). TSM replaces curved spacetime and gravitational force with a rigid-space aether whose acceleration field is fundamental: each mass acts as a sink, producing a radial inward aether acceleration a = GM/r^2, from which the flow speed v = sqrt(2GM/r) follows by integration. Because the aether is massless, frictionless, and density-free, it is a kinematic field: velocity and acceleration only, with no continuity equation. The guide presents four increasingly complex models: Earth only, Earth + Moon, Earth + Moon + Sun, and Earth + Moon + Sun + Galaxy. It recommends OpenFOAM, with its potentialFoam solver, as the primary tool, and lists FreeCAD with the CfdOF workbench and SU2 as alternatives. Boundary conditions, mesh strategy, source terms, and solver setups are given for each model. A central point is that no body is forced into orbit: bodies are placed with initial tangential velocities and then follow the local aether acceleration field, so orbits emerge naturally as curved paths in xyz space without any force acting. Post-processing instructions cover extraction of aether velocity, aether acceleration, Lorentz factor, clock rate, tidal signals, and frequency analysis for the predicted six-month, 24-hour, and monthly periodicities. The guide distinguishes throughout between aether acceleration, which is felt as an aether load and is directly measurable, and aether velocity, which determines Lorentz effects but is hidden from local measurement.

Abstract

This paper provides a practical guide for simulating aether flow in The Sanner Model (TSM) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). TSM replaces curved spacetime and gravitational force with a rigid-space aether whose acceleration field is fundamental: each mass acts as a sink, producing a radial inward aether acceleration a = GM/r^2, from which the flow speed v = sqrt(2GM/r) follows by integration. Because the aether is massless, frictionless, and density-free, it is a kinematic field: velocity and acceleration only, with no continuity equation. The guide presents four increasingly complex models: Earth only, Earth + Moon, Earth + Moon + Sun, and Earth + Moon + Sun + Galaxy. It recommends OpenFOAM, with its potentialFoam solver, as the primary tool, and lists FreeCAD with the CfdOF workbench and SU2 as alternatives. Boundary conditions, mesh strategy, source terms, and solver setups are given for each model. A central point is that no body is forced into orbit: bodies are placed with initial tangential velocities and then follow the local aether acceleration field, so orbits emerge naturally as curved paths in xyz space without any force acting. Post-processing instructions cover extraction of aether velocity, aether acceleration, Lorentz factor, clock rate, tidal signals, and frequency analysis for the predicted six-month, 24-hour, and monthly periodicities. The guide distinguishes throughout between aether acceleration, which is felt as an aether load and is directly measurable, and aether velocity, which determines Lorentz effects but is hidden from local measurement.
