“Leray solutions” take the average value of vectors in small neighborhoods of the vector field. Leray proved that it’s always possible to solve the Navier-Stokes equations when you allow your ...

New Scientist reports that Kazakh mathematician Mukhtarbay Otelbayev may have solved an extremely difficult and useful mathematics problem: the Navier-Stokes equations. This is one of the Clay ...

Yet, despite all this progress, one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in physics and mathematics remains—the Navier-Stokes equation. Quantum mechanics and fluid dynamics, though seemingly ...
