- | The Navier-Stokes equations describe one of the most ubiquitous features of our world: the flow of fluids. They are used to study ocean currents, the turbulence in the wave of an airplane or the flow of blood. | ||
- | In addition, they are mathematically extremely interesting and there is a [[http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems|Millennium Prize Problem]] with $1 million reward for the first person who can prove rigorously that solutions exist and answer the question if they are unique. | + | <tabbox Intuitive> |
