What a wonderfully informative and educational comment. Thank you.

Would you also be able to shed some light on what a singularity is? It was not intuitive to me that incompressiblity should lead to a singularity.

The article dances around the term:

> At that point, the Euler equations are said to give rise to a “singularity” — or, more dramatically, to “blow up.”

> Once they hit that singularity, the equations will no longer be able to compute the fluid’s flow.
