Stimulating the biquaternionic generalization of electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetism, a new model has been proposed to present the Maxwell type equations of compressible fluids. The fluid wave equation has been expressed in a compact and elegant manner. Similarly, the generalized Poynting theorem for fluids has been derived analogous to electromagnetism and linear gravity. Moreover, a brief survey on biquaternionic matrices and the corresponding matrix representations of fluid equations have been given. (C) 2016 The Physical Society of the Republic of China (Taiwan).
