this is so underrated once you see navier stokes as colors and arrows, it stops being scary symbols same thing happened when i saw my first cfd sim - suddenly all the math felt like a real-world control panel

You are over complicating things and your math doesn’t support your claim.

Excellent post. Finally, something on Xwitter that appeals to Renaissance Men and not just Doinks' retard frog army. And now you know why the bulbous bows of ships are shaped like rabbits. Keep up the good work, Gentlemen!

Some flowmeters use this principle and drop in pressure to determine the flow rate. As the flow rate is proportional to the square root of pressure drop.

Unlike electricity, fluid dynamics are chaotic. The Navier-Stokes equations' non-linear 'convective term' causes interactions, leading to turbulence and whirlpools—like where the Bhagirathi and Alaknanda rivers meet to form the Ganga. #Physics #FluidDynamics

It's nuclear winter and some systems are still launching cruise missiles☠️💀 Mathematically, we solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations using an RK2 pressure-projection method, with Brinkman penalization enforcing no-slip flow on the missile.

A rocket cuts through a solved Navier-Stokes flow, forcing the fluid to separate around its body and roll into a long turbulent wake. Using the D2Q9 lattice-Boltzmann method, the scene reveals vorticity, strain, Q-criterion vortex cores and wall shear.

Cognition founder and 3x Olympiad gold medalist Scott Wu on the Navier-Stokes solution: "It's actually insane...guys, we just solved Navier-Stokes with AI. That is absurd. And I don't think it's going to stop." "All of this stuff is just going to get done. It's hard to put into words if you're not familiar with the scale of it. But Navier-Stokes is a very fundamental problem about fluid dynamics and such. It's been around forever, basically. And lots of people have sunk lots and lots of time into it." "The fact that this can even just be done in like a week — it's insane."

Congrats to Navier AI on their $5.6M seed! Engineering has undergone two major shifts: CAD replaced manual drafting (1960s), then simulation enabled virtual testing (1990s). Navier introduces the third: Agent-Driven Engineering (ADE). Their AI agents automate repetitive workflows between design and engineering, enabling teams to triple output and compress cycles from months to weeks. Built on autonomous vehicle tech from SpaceX, Tesla, and Aurora, they're already working with aerospace and automotive companies.

Brand New Result Proving Penrose & Tao's Uncomputability in Physics! Mathematician Eva Miranda returns with a groundbreaking new result: a real physical system (fluid motion) has been proven to be Turing-complete. This means some fluid paths are logically undecidable. In this mind-bending episode, she walks us through the implications for chaos theory, the Navier-Stokes equations, and uncomputability in nature, confirming long-held suspicions of thinkers like Roger Penrose and Terence Tao. Featuring rubber ducks, Alan Turing, and the limits of knowledge itself.

A Million-Dollar Storm Mathematics Still Cannot Tame. Turbulence matters because it is the default behavior of real fluids once motion becomes strong enough, e.g. air over wings, blood through vessels, weather in the atmosphere, water in oceans, fuel in engines, and flow in pipes and turbines. We can write down the Navier-Stokes equations for all of this, but in 3D one of the deepest open questions is still whether smooth solutions always stay smooth, or can break down in finite time. That is crucial because it asks whether the basic equations of fluid motion remain mathematically under control forever, or can form a true singularity where the theory itself breaks. Solve that and you got yourself a million dollars

Terence Tao says that the AI proof on the Navier–Stokes problem is correct, yet mathematicians learned almost nothing from it. The proof is 100 pages, AI-generated and full of issues in its text, but a formal certificate in the language Lean confirms it. Navier–Stokes is a Millennium Prize problem that asks whether the equations for fluids like water can start smooth and then blow up, with velocity or pressure becoming infinite. Human mathematicians came very close, and OpenAI ran its biggest model, with millions of dollars of compute, to get there first. A human proof normally comes with talks on what was tried, what worked and what it connects to, like picking fruit and planting the seeds. Tao calls this one strip mining: the fruit taken, the landscape left barren. One colleague, using lots of AI, could explain only half of it after days of work.
