Timely quote:"The power of the Executive to cast a man into
prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and
particularly to deny him the judgement of his peers, is in the highest
degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government
whether Nazi or Communist." Winston Churchill - November 21, 1943
These considerations justify the view that a considerable mathematical
effort towards a detailed understanding of the mechanism of turbulence
is called for. The entire experience with the subject indicates that
the purely analytical approach is beset with difficulties, which at
this moment are still prohibitive...Under these conditions there might
be some hope to 'break the deadlock' by extensive, but well-planned,
computational efforts. It must be admitted that the problems in
questions are too vast to be solved by a direct computational attack,
that is, by an outright calculation of a representative family of
special cases. There are, however, strong indications that one could
name certain strategic points in this complex, where relevant
information must be obtained by direct calculations...This should, in
the end, make an attack with analytical methods, that is truly more
mathematical, possible.
