Chapter 282 What if There Is Hope? (Added 610 Chapters for the Leader Gao Shan Liu Shui, Please Give Me a Monthly Vote)
At 2 pm, the unfinished report meeting in the morning continued.
Compared with the morning, more scholars raised their hands to ask questions in the afternoon, and the questions raised were more inclined to the application level.
Xu Chuan was indeed somewhat helpless about these things.
He could guarantee the correctness of the theory, but he didn't know how to apply the interim 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 interim results of the NS equation to model turbulence, or even ultra-high temperature plasma turbulence, etc.
These things can only be said that science has no borders, but scientists do.
Even if he knew very well how to use this result to build a model for the ultra-high temperature plasma in the chamber of a controlled nuclear fusion reactor, he couldn't say it here.
At 4 pm, after another two hours of busy work, the report meeting on the interim results of the NS equation finally came to a successful conclusion.
Judging from the response at the meeting, the academic community has basically recognized his paper.
At least, the mathematical community doesn't have too many questions.
As for the problems in the physical community, 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 application-oriented.
A mathematics conference can never reach into the application field of physical mechanics.
Amid loud applause, Xu Chuan ended the conference and walked towards the exit of the auditorium.
Now it's time to announce this news to the world!
When he walked out of the auditorium, the crowd that had been waiting outside surrounded him.
Among those who surrounded him were reporters, scholars, and simply his admirers.
Not everyone could squeeze into the auditorium to attend the conference. Many latecomers or those who did not receive invitations were waiting outside for the results.
"Hello, Professor Xu Chuan. I'm a reporter from the Los Angeles Times."
"Professor Xu, how was the report? Can you tell me if it was successful? Has the NS equation been solved?"
"Chuan Shen! Can I shake your hand?"
"Hello, Professor Xu. I'm a reporter from Jinling Daily. May I ask if your paper successfully proved the NS equation?"
"Chuan Shen, I'm a math student at Peking University. Can you add my WeChat ID or leave me your phone number? I want to learn math from you!"
"."
Outside the auditorium, Xu Chuan was blocked by the crowd at the door 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 answering some media and questions, Xu Chuan was ready to slip away, but these enthusiastic onlookers obviously didn't intend to let him go so easily.
Fortunately, the staff in charge of the order of the report meeting at Nanjing University discovered the situation here and quickly rushed over to rescue him.
"Huh~"
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, which is just right for communicating with other mathematicians.
Even he has to keep paying attention to mathematics and absorbing knowledge.
After all, mathematics has always relied on inspiration and communication, and closed-door work is not suitable for this discipline.
After returning to the office smoothly, Xu Chuan pushed open the door and walked in, leaning on the chair to rest.
I have to say that today's report meeting is really the most tiring one he has ever attended in his life.
The NS equation is too relevant. Even if it is only a phased result, it still attracts the attention of many scholars in the two major fields of mathematics and physics.
The impact of fluid mechanics on society is really too great.
Aircraft, missiles, rockets, cars, trains, bridges, high-rise buildings and other structures are inseparable from the design of fluid mechanics.
Dams, hydropower generation, ship design, ports and coastal engineering, underwater pipelines, sewage treatment and tap water supply are also inseparable from the support of fluid mechanics.
Even in medicine, in the fields of hemodynamics, respiratory mechanics and digestive system mechanics, fluid mechanics can help humans better treat diseases.
In addition, there are various disciplines such as atmospheric science, environmental protection, and bioengineering, in which fluid mechanics plays a very critical role.
While taking a break, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the office.
Coming back to his senses, Xu Chuan greeted: "Come in."
"Xu, congratulations, 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.
Looking at the visitor, Xu Chuan smiled and stood up to greet: "Editor-in-Chief Camilo, hello."
He was very familiar with the visitor. The editor-in-chief of the "Annals of Mathematics" 'Camilo de Lellis', a Princeton system person, of course, is also an alumnus.
Camilo de Lellis smiled and walked forward and gave Xu Chuan a warm hug.
"Long time no see, Xu, congratulations on solving another of the seven millennium problems, which is really unexpected." Camilo smiled and congratulated.
"Thank you, but I haven't solved the NS equation yet. It is only a phased result at present, and it has not been peer reviewed." Xu Chuan smiled and responded.
"Wow, Xu, you are so modest. Today's presentation was really great."
Camilo shook his head exaggeratedly, and then continued with a smile: "Xu, I think you should know why I came here, give it to me, "Annals of Mathematics" promises not to let it down, we will treat it like our own son."
"To show our importance, we have invited Professor Terence Tao, Professor Shing-Tung Yau, Professor Smirnov and other big names as reviewers. Now all we need is the paper in your hand."
"This is too exaggerated, they are all Fields Medal winners." Xu Chuan shook his head and laughed.
"No, no, no, it deserves it!" Editor-in-Chief Camilo retorted seriously: "These are the seven major millennium problems. Even if they are only phased results, they are worthy of everyone's most serious attitude."
"Moreover, I think there is no other journal that can match it except "Annals of Mathematics"!"
Xu Chuan smiled, skipped the topic and said: "I believe you will treat it well."
It is not a problem whether it is worthy of it or not. "Annals of Mathematics" is indeed the most famous of the four top journals.
Because it was established by scholars of the Princeton School, and Princeton is currently the world's holy land of mathematics, most of the results produced by scholars from here were submitted to the Annals of Mathematics.
He also published 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.
If there is no accident, the interim results of the NS equation this time will probably be submitted to the other party.
What's more, Editor-in-Chief Camilo came in person.
Hearing Xu Chuan's answer, Editor-in-Chief Camilo de Lellis' face was happy, and he quickly said: "Of course! As long as the peer review is completed, we will arrange it to be published as quickly as possible."
After inviting the submission, Camilo de Lellis did not disturb too much, and left after a brief chat.
After Xu Chuan rested for a while, he also got up and went to the dinner restaurant.
The exchange dinner after the report meeting is an occasion not to be missed for any mathematician.
Here, you can find any math expert you are interested in, say hello, exchange ideas, and ask questions. Almost no one will be rejected.
After politely responding to the scholars who came up to say hello, Xu Chuan also found his mentor Professor Deligne at Princeton.
At this time, the old professor was holding a glass and communicating with Qiu Chengtong.
"Mentor, Professor Qiu." Xu Chuan smiled and greeted the two.
"Very wonderful proof, it seems that you have not abandoned your mathematics after returning to China." Deligne nodded and praised him rarely.
He was worried that this student would abandon his talent in mathematics, but now it seems that he has not.
On the side, Qiu Chengtong said with a smile: "It seems that the last exchange in Shuimu has inspired you a lot. I saw something quite familiar in your proof."
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Thank you very much for the inspiration given to me by Mr. Qiu and that classmate."
Qiu Chengtong laughed and said: "You don't know how happy my student was when you mentioned it in the paper. It's just that he didn't come today. If he came, I guess he would ask you for dozens of signatures."
On the side, Deligne asked: "What are you going to study next? I heard from Feferman that you don't seem to be going to go deeper into the NS equation?"
Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Yes, I also want to solve this problem, but my mathematical intuition tells me that it is probably not something I can do now to solve this problem."
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: "Teacher, about the matter I discussed with you before, about borrowing Princeton's chemical experiment database, is there any hope?"
When studying artificial SEI film last year, he had thought about making a chemical mathematical model to help himself with chemical material research and development.
This can be said to be a very grand plan, of course, it is also difficult to achieve. For this reason, he contacted Nanjing University and Shuimu University to try together.
In addition, at the beginning of the year, he also found Deligne and told him about this matter, asking Deligne to help find the director of the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University to communicate and see if he could borrow the database there.
Although Princeton's Department of Chemistry is not as good as mathematics and physics, it has also produced several Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry, and its strength is still quite strong.
In addition to the long-term experimental accumulation, it would be very good if Princeton could help.
Of course, this probability is not very high.
On the one hand, he is not in Princeton, and on the other hand, this kind of cross-border university cooperation, especially between Huami and China, is difficult to achieve, especially in the field of material research and development.
But Xu Chuan always has to ask, what if there is hope?
