Waymire, Edward C. Probability & incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: an overview of some recent developments. (English) Zbl 1189.76424 Probab. Surv. 2, 1-32 (2005). Summary: This is largely an attempt to provide probabilists some orientation to an important class of non-linear partial differential equations in applied mathematics, the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Particular focus is given to the probabilistic framework introduced by Y. Le Jan and A. S. Sznitman [Probab. Theory Relat. Fields 109, No. 3, 343–366 (1997; Zbl 0888.60072)] and extended by R. N. Bhattacharya, L. Chen, S. Dobson, R. B. Guenther, C. Orum, M. Ossiander, E. Thomann and E. C. Waymire [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 355, No. 12, 5003–5040 (2003; Zbl 1031.35115)]. In particular this is an effort to provide some foundational facts about these equations and an overview of some recent results with an indication of some new directions for probabilistic consideration.
