Chapter 282 What if there is hope? (Add 610 for the alliance leader Gaoshan Liushui, please vote for me)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the unfinished report from the morning will be continued.
Compared with the morning, more scholars who raised their hands to ask questions in the afternoon were physicists, and the questions raised were more at the application level.
Xu Chuan is indeed powerless about these things.
He can ensure that the theory is correct, but he does not know how to apply the staged results of the NS equation to actual industry.
And there were some things that he couldn't answer at this report meeting.
For example, how to use the phased results of the NS equation to model turbulence, even ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence, etc.
These things can only be said that science has no national boundaries, but scientists have national boundaries.
Even if he knew how to use this result to build a model for the ultra-high temperature plasma in the controllable fusion reactor chamber, he would not be able to say it here.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after another two hours of busy work, the report meeting on the phased results of the NS equation finally came to a successful conclusion.
Judging from the response in the forum, the academic community has basically recognized his paper.
At least, there isn't much doubt in the mathematical community.
As for the problems in physics, to be honest, this is not within the scope of Xu Chuan’s answer.
The NS equation is indeed a top problem in the field of fluid mechanics and can also be used to solve various turbulence problems, but fluid mechanics is ultimately more of a partial application field.
A lecture in the field of mathematics cannot reach into the application field of physical mechanics no matter what.
Amidst loud applause, Xu Chuan ended the report and walked towards the exit of the auditorium.
Now it's time to tell the world!
When he walked out of the auditorium, the crowd that had been waiting outside surrounded him.
Among those who surrounded him were journalists, scholars, and simply his admirers.
Not everyone can squeeze into the auditorium to attend the report meeting. Many people who arrived late or did not receive invitations have been waiting outside for the results.
"Hello, Professor Xu Chuan, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Times."
"Professor Xu, how are the results of the report? Can you tell us whether it was successful? Has the NS equation been solved?"
"Kawasami! Can I shake your hand?"
"Hello, Professor Xu, I am a reporter from Jinling Daily. Did your paper successfully prove the NS equation?"
"Sichuan Shen, I am a mathematics student at Peking University. Can you increase my credibility or leave your phone number? I want to learn mathematics from you!"
"."
Outside the auditorium, Xu Chuan was blocked by the crowd as soon as he walked out.
All kinds of questions came flooding in, including questions from media reporters and enthusiastic cheers from other onlookers.
After selecting some media and answering questions, Xu Chuan was ready to leave, but the enthusiastic onlookers obviously did not intend to let him go so easily.
Fortunately, the staff at NTU who were in charge of the order report discovered what was going on here and quickly came over to rescue him.
"Hoo~"
After being pulled out of the crowd, Xu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards his office.
There is no need to rush back now. There will be a dinner and exchange meeting in the evening, just in time to communicate with other mathematicians.
Even he must maintain his focus on mathematics and his absorption of knowledge.
After all, mathematics has always relied heavily on inspiration and communication, and working behind closed doors is not suitable for this subject.
Returning to the office smoothly, Xu Chuan opened the door and walked in, leaning on the chair to rest.
It has to be said that today's report meeting was really the most tiring one he has ever had in his life.
The relationship between NS equations is so great that even if it is just a staged result, it has still attracted the attention of many scholars in the two major fields of mathematics and physics.
Fluid mechanics has a huge impact on society.
Aircraft, missiles, rockets, cars, trains, bridges, high-rise buildings and other structures are all inseparable from the design of fluid mechanics.
Dams, hydropower, ship design, port and coastal engineering, underwater pipelines, sewage treatment and tap water supply are also inseparable from the support of fluid mechanics.
Even in medicine, fluid mechanics can help humans better treat diseases in fields such as hemodynamics, respiratory mechanics, and digestive system mechanics.
In addition, there are various disciplines such as atmospheric science, environmental protection, bioengineering, etc., in which fluid mechanics plays a key role.
While I was resting, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Chuan greeted: "Please come in."
"Xu, congratulations to you, you have solved another difficult problem."
A middle-aged man walked in. Even though it was early May and the temperature was not low, he was still wearing a neat suit and tie. After glancing at the visitor, Xu Chuan stood up with a smile and greeted: "Hello, editor-in-chief Camilo."
He was very familiar with the visitor. Camilo de Leilis, the editor-in-chief of the Annals of Mathematics, was from the Princeton system and, of course, an alumnus.
Camilo de Leilis walked forward with a smile and gave Xu Chuan a warm hug.
"Long time no see, Xu. Congratulations on solving another seven-millennium problem. It's really unexpected." Camilo congratulated with a smile.
"Thank you, but I haven't solved the NS equation yet. It's just a phased result at the moment, and it hasn't been peer reviewed yet." Xu Chuan responded with a smile.
"Wow, Xu, you are so humble. Today's report was wonderful."
Camilo shook his head exaggeratedly, and then continued with a smile: "Xu, I think you should know why I am here. Give it to me. "Annals of Mathematics" promises to live up to it, and we will be like parents. Treat him like a son.”
"We attach great importance to this. We have invited Professor Terence Tao, Professor Qiu Chengtong, Professor Smirnov and other experts to serve as reviewers. Now all that is left is the paper in your hand."
"This is too exaggerated. They are all Fields Medal winners." Xu Chuan shook his head and smiled.
"No, no, no, it's worth it!" Editor-in-Chief Camilo retorted seriously: "These are the seven major millennium problems. Even if they are just phased results, they are worthy of everyone to face with the most serious attitude."< br>
"And, I don't think there is any other journal that can match it except the Annals of Mathematics!"
Xu Chuan smiled, skipped the topic and said, "I believe you will treat him well."
Whether it matches or not is not a problem. "Annals of Mathematics" is currently the most famous among the four top journals.
Because it was established by scholars from the Princeton School, and Princeton is currently the mecca of mathematics in the world. Most of the results produced by scholars from here have been submitted to the Annals of Mathematics.
He also wrote a lot of papers in the "Annals of Mathematics", whether it was the proof of the Weyl_Berry conjecture or the proof of the Hodge conjecture, they were all submitted to the "Annals of Mathematics".
This time's phased results of the NS equation, if there are no surprises, will probably be given to the other party.
What's more, the editor-in-chief of Camilo came here personally.
Hearing Xu Chuan's answer, Editor-in-Chief Camilo de Leilis became happy and said quickly: "Of course! As long as the peer review is completed, we will arrange for it to be published as quickly as possible."
After being invited to contribute, Camilo de Leilis did not interrupt him too much and left after a brief chat.
After Xu Chuan rested for a while, he also got up and headed to the dinner restaurant.
The networking dinner after the report meeting is an occasion not to be missed by any mathematician.
Here, you can find any math expert you are interested in to say hello, exchange ideas, and ask questions. You will almost never be rejected.
After politely responding to the scholars who came up to greet him enthusiastically, Xu Chuan also found his mentor at Princeton, Professor Deligne.
At this moment, the old professor was holding a wine glass and communicating with Qiu Chengtong.
"Instructor, Professor Qiu." Xu Chuan smiled and stepped forward to say hello to the two of them.
"Wonderful proof. It seems that you did not neglect your mathematics after returning to China." Deligne nodded and gave a rare compliment.
He was originally worried that this student would waste his talent in mathematics, but now it seems that he has not.
On the side, Qiu Chengtong smiled and said: "It seems that the last exchange in Shuimu inspired you a lot. I saw something quite familiar in your proof process."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I am very grateful to Mr. Qiu and that classmate for bringing me inspiration."
Qiu Chengtong laughed and said, "You don't know. You mentioned something in your paper about how happy that student was. He didn't come today. If he came, he would probably ask you for dozens of dollars." Signature.”
On the side, Deligne asked: "What are you going to study next? I heard from Fefferman that you don't seem to be ready to go further on the NS equation?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, I also want to solve this problem, but my mathematical intuition tells me that solving this problem is probably not what I can do now."
Deligne nodded. He knew the character of this student. If there was really hope to solve the NS equation, he would not leave it alone.
Skipping this, Xu Chuan asked: "Instructor, I have communicated with you before about borrowing Princeton's chemical experiment database. Is there any hope?"
When he was studying artificial SEI films last year, he thought about making a chemical mathematical model to help him develop chemical materials.
This can be said to be a very grand plan, but of course, it is also difficult to realize. To this end, he contacted Nanjing University and Shuimu University to join forces to try.
In addition, at the beginning of the year, he also approached Deligne and told him about this matter. He asked Deligne to help him communicate with the director of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University to see if he could borrow Princeton's database.
Although Princeton's chemistry department is not as good as mathematics and physics, it has produced several Nobel Prize winners in chemistry, so it is still quite strong.
Coupled with the long-term accumulation of experiments, it would be very good if we can get help from Princeton.
Of course, this probability is not very high.
On the one hand, he is not at Princeton, and on the other hand, this kind of transnational university cooperation, especially between China and America, is difficult to achieve, especially in the field of materials research and development.
But Xu Chuan had to ask, what if there was hope?
