SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the search for comprehensive resources containing all known complete analytical exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Participants agree that such a compilation does not currently exist, with most information being scattered across various papers, such as those published in the journal Acta Mechanica. The consensus is that while exact solutions are rare and often applicable only under simple conditions, practitioners in fluid mechanics typically seek methods for accurate approximations rather than exact solutions.
