National Science Centre MAESTRO project
Principal Investigator: prof. dr hab. Agnieszka Świerczewska-Gwiazda
The project investigates the mathematical foundations of fluid mechanics, focusing on the limitations of
classical models, such as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations, in real-world applications. Recent
discoveries, such as the existence of infinitely many low-regularity solutions, reveal pathological
behaviors that undermine the predictive reliability of these models. Therefore, the research considers
complex factors, such as electric fields, capillary effects, vortices, and phase transitions, going beyond
traditional theoretical frameworks. One of the key objectives is to establish rigorous connections between
different models describing the same phenomena at various scales. This approach aims to address
challenges related to nonlinear systems and deepen the theoretical understanding of fluid dynamics. The
research findings will also provide insights into related areas, such as biological systems, which
conceptually resemble fluid mechanics.
