On the Potential Collective Flow of a Rotating Nucleus with Non-Ellipsoidal Boundary. From: Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab, Matematisk-fysiske Meddelelser, bind 30, nr. 5, 15 pp., 1955. Gustafson was a Swedish physicist, both studied and taught at Lund University. His research focus was first mechanics, and especially flow mechanics with aerodynamics and oceanography applications. While a PhD student, he worked as an assistant in the Swedish Hydrographic-Biological Commission in 1930-1934. Later he was mainly involved in nuclear physics. Torsten Gustafson was acquainted with Swedish Prime Minister Tage Erlander and served as Erlander's Informal Scientific Adviser both during his time as ecclesiastical minister and prime minister. In this capacity, Gustafson had an important role in the process, which led Sweden to focus early on nuclear research, including in the form of the Atomic Committee appointed in 1945, where Gustafson was a member. He was a member of the Council of CERN in Geneva in 1953-1964.
