Chris Combs, professor of Aerospace engineering, throws some cold water on OpenAI’s NS solution

Chris Combs, an aerospace engineering professor, clarifies that recent news regarding Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations is overblown. He states that a specific mathematical proof for a niche scenario, potentially showing a singularity for a perfectly smooth incompressible initial condition, is not a general solution. Combs emphasizes that this is a mathematical curiosity, not changing practical N-S usage, and notes that aerospace engineering already treats N-S as an approximation, simplifying terms and being aware of its limitations and core assumptions.
