It isn’t that important.

It is an incremental, but perhaps significant improvement for describing flow in a certain situation. It is nothing like a general purpose “solution” to turbulence.

Scientific American kind of sucks.

I mean, the certain situation is the exact problem where fusion reactors are most leaky. Decades of effort has been put into more efficiently computationally modeling plasma turbulence at the boundary.

Yeah Scientific American sucks ass but this is an important area of research and it's ripe for a (or many) breakthroughs.
