An anonymous reader writes "Kazakh news site BNews.kz reports that Mukhtarbay Otelbaev, Director of the Eurasian Mathematical Institute of the Eurasian National University, is <http://bnews.kz/en/news/post/180213/>claiming to have found the solution to another Millennium Prize Problems. His paper, which is called 'Existence of a strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations' and is <http://www.math.kz/images/journal/2013-4/Otelbaev_N-S_21_12_2013.pdf>freely available online (PDF in Russian), may present a solution to the fundamental partial differentials equations that <http://www.claymath.org/millenium-problems/navier%E2%80%93stokes-equation>describe the flow of incompressible fluids for which, until now, only a subset of specific solutions have been found. So far, only one of the <http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems>seven Millennium problems was solved ­ the Poincaré conjecture, <http://science.slashdot.org/story/03/04/15/1337219/poincar-conjecture-may-be-solved>by Grigori Perelman in 2003. If Otelbaev's solution is confirmed, not only it might be the first time that the $1 million offered by the Clay Millennium Prize will find a home (Perelman <http://science.slashdot.org/story/10/07/02/153208/grigory-perelman-turns-down-1m-millennium-prize>refused the prize in 2010), but also engineering libraries will soon have to update their Fluid Mechanic books." --- co-chair http://ocjug.org/
