per se, it's just that there's no closed solution to the NS formulations...a complete examination of the equations of motion and thermodynamics, with repect to fluids yields two very important non-dimensional quantities...Mach Number and Reynold's number--- that is exactly where ALL of our problems arise...



I did it a little short whith NS ! as I am a little lazy with words (in my "fractured English" as Organfreak said it to me... ) : "no
analytical solutions" of course (I knew you knew!). And computer solutions don't get much to see before us (distance and time). And what with cavitation..

Henri GIRAUD was a geant data base of airflow in free air when he died in nov.1999. I asked to the INRIA of Grenoble if they could work with him, it would have been yes, but as I asked to "Monsieur GIRAUD" he said me "No, it is too late". The civil aviation denied Henri GIRAUD importance during his whole life.
Shall visit Mado with your recommandation !
