Searching for singularities in the Navier–Stokes equations

Nature Reviews Physics volume 1, pages 418–419 (2019)Cite this article

Subjects

Despite much effort, the question of whether the Navier–Stokes equations allow solutions that develop singularities in finite time remains unresolved. Terence Tao discusses the problem, and possible routes to a solution.
