Some Open Questions in Hydrodynamicsby Mateusz Dyndal, Laurent Schoeffel - arXiv , 2014
There are many deep open questions that come with the theory of fluid mechanics. We discuss some of them that we classify in two categories, the long term behavior of solutions of equations of hydrodynamics and the definition of initial conditions.
