Ludwig Prandtl
A Life for Fluid Mechanics and Aeronautical Research
Language: English
Release Date: February 25, 2019
This is a comprehensive biography of Ludwig Prandtl (1875-1953), the father of modern aerodynamics. His name is associated most famously with the boundary layer concept, but also with several other topics in 20th century fluid mechanics, particularly turbulence (Prandtl's mixing length). Among his...
