Description

Recent efforts to estimate the number of modes sufficient for the approximate solutions of Navier-Stokes equations in two dimensions are summarized. Several such estimates have been obtained, and their relations to one another are discussed. The physical significance of the results is noted and used to infer the possible nature of similar estimates in three dimensions
