I. Abstract

• Objective: In low–Mach-number, weak-shock–boundary-layer–wake coupled systems, perform a unified fit of the weak-shock reverse-wake anomaly, identifying the co-variation of A_rw, E_rw/E_tot, M_s, χ_p, f_rev, U_th/U_ret, c_rw, L_rw, |Z|/φ to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use abbreviations: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
• Key Results: Across 11 experiments, 60 conditions, and 6.1×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting yields RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.914, improving error by −16.9% versus weak-shock + wake baselines. We obtain A_rw = −7.4 ± 1.1 dB, energy fraction E_rw/E_tot = 0.21 ± 0.04, M_s = 1.08 ± 0.03, f_rev = 860 ± 90 Hz, thresholds U_th = 34.5 ± 3.7 m/s, U_ret = 27.9 ± 3.1 m/s, c_rw = 11.8 ± 2.2 m/s, L_rw = 23.6 ± 4.1 cm.
• Conclusion: Reverse wakes arise from Path Tension and Sea Coupling imparting multiplicative bias to shock/wake channels (ψ_shock/ψ_wake); STG drives phase-reversal band drift and energy backflow; TBN sets amplitude noise floors and decay-length jitter; Coherence Window/RL bound minimal L_rw and phase roll-off at high frequencies/velocities; Topology/Recon reshape the covariance of |Z|/φ and A_rw via surface coating/microstructure networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Reverse-wake amplitude/energy: A_rw (dB), E_rw/E_tot.
• Weak-shock quantification: M_s (Mach number), leading-edge compression ratio χ_p.
• Phase-reversal band and thresholds: f_rev, threshold U_th and return U_ret.
• Propagation & decay: c_rw (reverse propagation speed), L_rw (effective decay length).
• Amplitude/phase & sensitivity: |Z|(f), φ(f), dZ/dU.
• Spectra & anisotropy: p_u/p_p (velocity/pressure spectral indices), χ ≡ k_⊥/k_∥.

Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observable axis: A_rw, E_rw/E_tot, M_s, χ_p, f_rev, U_th/U_ret, c_rw, L_rw, |Z|, φ, χ, p_u/p_p, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights applied to ψ_shock, ψ_wake, ψ_interface).
• Path & measure: disturbances propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping via ∫ J·E dℓ and ∫ (p'·u') dℓ; all formulas in plain text with SI units.

Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)

• Near-critical flow speeds exhibit reverse-propagating wakes with mid-band phase reversal.
• With changes in surface microstructure/coatings, A_rw covaries in phase with φ(f).
• In the inertial range, p_u/p_p ≈ −1.6 ~ −1.7; χ rises to 2–3.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: A_rw ≈ A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_wake − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
• S02: f_rev ≈ f0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env] − b1·η_Damp·(U/U0)
• S03: U_th ≈ U0 · [1 − γ_Path·J_Path − k_SC·ψ_shock], U_ret ≈ r·U_th
• S04: c_rw ≈ c0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_wake − η_Damp·(f/f0)], L_rw ≈ L0 · [1 + θ_Coh − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S05: |Z|(f) = Z0 · [1 + g1·k_STG·G_env − g2·k_TBN·σ_env + g3·zeta_topo], φ(f) ≈ φ0 − a2·η_Damp·(f/f0) + a3·θ_Coh

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC biases the wake channel, amplifying A_rw and lowering U_th.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG drifts f_rev and strengthens backflow; k_TBN sets amplitude floors and jitter in L_rw.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL: bound the high-f, high-U anti-phase bandwidth and minimal L_rw; xi_RL caps strong-drive regimes.
• P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: via zeta_topo, surface/coating networks reshape the covariance of |Z|/φ and A_rw.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of A_rw, E_rw/E_tot, f_rev, U_th/U_ret, c_rw, L_rw, |Z|/φ, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for surface microstructure/coatings and flow-speed/frequency window optimization.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_shock/ψ_wake/ψ_interface/ζ_topo separate shock, wake, and interface contributions.
3. Engineering usability: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and surface shaping stabilizes the anti-phase band and reduces threshold drift.

Blind Spots

1. Strong separation/strong detachment regimes require higher-order unsteady-separation and turbulence-interaction terms.
2. In very low Mach and high-damping bands, f_rev may mix with device eigenmodes—angle/array-resolved diagnostics are needed for demixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D maps: scan U×f and U×coating parameters to map A_rw, f_rev, |Z|/φ;
   • Surface engineering: micro-grooves/porous coatings/multi-scale roughness to tune zeta_topo elasticity on A_rw, L_rw;
   • Synchronized acquisition: Schlieren + pressure arrays + PIV to hard-link c_rw and phase reversal;
   • Environmental suppression: vibration/acoustic shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN impacts on A_rw and L_rw.
