💧 Navier–Stokes Equations

The Navier–Stokes equations are a set of partial differential equations describing how the velocity, pressure and density of a viscous fluid evolve over space and time. They underpin virtually all of fluid dynamics — from weather forecasting to aircraft design — yet remain so mathematically hard that proving smooth solutions always exist is an unsolved Millennium Prize problem.
