(Roger Penrose\, 1989). Is hydrodynamics capabl e of calculations? (Cris Moore\, 1991). Can a mechanical system (including the trajectory of a fluid) simulate a universal Turing machine? (Terence Tao\, 2017).\n\nThe movement of an incompressible fluid without viscosity is governed by Euler equations. Its viscid analogue is given by the Navier -Stokes equations whose regularity is one of the open problems in the list of problems for the Millenium by\n\nthe Clay Foundation. The trajectories of a fluid are complex. Can we measure its levels of complexity (computat ional\, logical and dynamical)?\n\nIn this talk\, we will address these qu estions. In particular\, we will show how to construct a 3-dimensional Eul er flow which is Turing complete. Undecidability of fluid paths is then a consequence of the classical undecidability of the halting\n\nproblem prov ed by Alan Turing back in 1936. This is another manifestation of complexit y in hydrodynamics which is very different from the theory of chaos.\n\nOu r solution of Euler equations corresponds to a stationary solution or Belt rami field. To address this problem\, we will use a mirror [5] reflecting Beltrami fields as Reeb vector fields of a contact\n\nstructure. Thus\, ou r solutions import techniques from geometry to solve a problem in fluid dy namics. But how general are Euler flows? Can we represent any dynamics as an Euler flow? We will address this universality problem using the Beltram i/Reeb mirror again and Gromov's h-principle. We will also consider the no n-stationary case. These universality features illustrate the complexity o f Euler flows. However\, this construction is not 'physical' in the sense that the associated metric is not the euclidean metric. We will announce a n euclidean construction and its implications to complexity and undecidabi lity.\n\nThese constructions [1\,2\,3\,4] are motivated by Tao's approach to the problem of Navier-Stokes [7\,8\,9] which we will also explain.\n\n[ 1] R.
