A type D breakdown of the Navier Stokes equation in d=3 spatial dimensions

Abstract

In this paper a type D breakdown of the Navier Stokes (NS) in d=3 is demonstrated. The element of the breakdown also occurs in the Euler equation. We consider the fact that in d=2 Ladyzhenskaya found a generalized type B solution. The discussion revolves around the notion, also found in quantum spin theory, that in the behavior of a system can be quite different from the behavior in d=2 dimensions. Concerning applications, our resolution of the problem implies that e.g. hydrology problems formulated as a NS equation can only be solved in computational approximation.
