The Hou–Luo finite-time singularity conjecture for axisymmetric Euler flow

Let (r,z)(r,z) belong to the cylindrical domain {(r,z):0r1}\{(r,z):0\leq r\leq1\}. Hou–Luo conjecture. There exists a smooth solution to the axisymmetric Euler equation on this cylindrical domain that becomes singular in finite time. This conjecture is motivated by the Hou–Luo scenario and numerical evidence, but a rigorous proof remains open.
