Title: Computational and mathematical aspects of turbulence and chaos.
 
Abstract:
 
We show that using adaptive finite element methods it is possible on a
PC to compute quantities of interest for a variety of incompressible
turbulent flows, by computationally solving the Navier-Stokes equations
without user-specified turbulence models. Based on these results, we
question the official formulation of the Clay Institute Millennium Prize
Problem asking for a proof of (non)existence of smooth solutions to the
Navier-Stokes equations, and we suggest a new formulation.
