Mathematicians Crack Turbulent Diffusion Conjecture: A Century-Old Mystery Solved

A team of mathematicians spent two years developing a novel grid refinement technique to prove the superdiffusion conjecture in turbulent fluids. By progressively refining their computational grid, they ultimately revealed regularities in fluid behavior at larger scales. This allowed them to apply traditional homogenization techniques, precisely calculating the diffusion rate of particles in turbulence, matching physicists' decades-old predictions. This breakthrough not only solves a long-standing scientific problem but also provides new methods and insights for studying more complex turbulent phenomena and other physical problems.
