Steven BruntonUniversity of Washington mathematician and fluid dynamics expert
Brunton says the Navier-Stokes blow-up result leaves practical fluid engineering unchanged, contrasting a million-dollar math problem with a trillion-dollar engineering problem.
“you know, we solved the million dollar math problem. There's a trillion dollar engineering problem, which is like, how do you predict these things in a fast, efficient way”
