You don't have to solve the Navier Stokes equations analytical for this. You don't even have to solve them explicitly at all: I can see a grad student just getting a lot of experimental data and throwing it all at a neural net with good results.

Yes, to be sure you are right. It was just a silly (and, as you point out, mathematically inaccurate) joke.

It doesn't solve the hidden cavity problem very well, though.

Indeed. At least not in a way I can think of within thirty seconds.
