contents We show how a complete mathematical description of a complicated physical phenomenon can be learned from observational data via a hybrid approach combining three simple and general ingredients: physical assumptions of smoothness, locality, and symmetry, a weak formulation of differential equations, and sparse regression. To illustrate this, we extract a system of governing equations describing flows of incompressible Newtonian fluids -- the Navier-Stokes equation, the continuity equation, and the boundary conditions -- from numerical data describing a highly turbulent channel flow in three dimensions. These relations have the familiar form of partial differential equations, which are easily interpretable and readily provide information about the relative importance of different physical effects as well as insight into the quality of the data, serving as a useful diagnostic tool. The approach described here is remarkably robust, yielding accurate results for very high noise levels, and should thus be well-suited to experimental data.
