Abstract
The Navier-Stokes system of partial differential equations (PDEs) contains the main conservation laws that universally describe the evolution of a fluid (i.e., liquid or gaseous) flow. Even though these laws have been well established since the nineteenth century, the complete description of their intrinsic properties remains one of the challenging topics of modern physics and mathematics.
