Abstract: I shall briefly survey the current status on more rigorous studies of chaos in fluids by focusing along the line of chaos phenotypes: sensitive dependence on initial data, and recurrence.

Review text

This is a survey on chaos in fluids. The author explains the current research status of recurrence and sensitive dependence on initial conditions for Navier-Stokes and Eulers equations, the Couette flow and the Poiseuille flow. There is also some discussions on the Sommerfeld paradox and some open problems.
