Which turbulent flow problem? Could you provide a link or two please?
 
Okay

The problem : Is it possible to make a theoretical model to describe the statistics of a turbulent flow (in particular, its internal structures)? Also, under what conditions do smooth solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations exist?

Sounds like a schoolwork / homework problem. Why did you post this in the general technical PF forums and show no effort?
 
BTW, schoolwork questions are allowed in the technical forums if the level is graduate school and you show lots of your work on the question. What's your preference?

I don't think it is a schoolwork problem. If he were able to solve that school problem, he would probably win the Nobel prize (or at least a Fields Medal) :wink:.

This is not a school work I don't want to solve this problem because I can't . It's an unsolved problem and probably one of the most famous that physicists are stucked in .

Youre right
