Inscribed By The Honoree, Liepmann, To Fellow Caltech Professor Anatol Roshko "To Anatol Roshko For Over Forty Years Of Shared Work, Ideas And Responsibility- Without A Cloud! Hans". Hans Wolfgang Liepmann (1914 -2009) Was An American Engineer And Emer…itus Theodore Von Kármán Professor Of Aeronautics At The California Institute Of Technology. He Is Known For His Numerous Contributions In Fluid Mechanics Covering A Wide Range Of Problem Areas, Such As Flow Instability And Turbulence, Gas Kinetics, Viscous Compressible Fluids And Liquid Helium Flows. Hans Liepmann Received A Dr.Ing.H.C. From The University Of Aachen And A Ph.D. From The University Of Zurich In 1938. In 1939 Liepmann Joined Theodore Von Kármán At Caltech As A Research Fellow In Aeronautics. He Became Assistant Professor Of Aeronautics In 1945, Associate Professor In 1946 And Professor From 1949 To 1974. From 1974 To 1976 He Was Professor Of Aeronautics And Applied Physics, From 1976 To 1983 Charles Lee Powell Professor Of Fluid Mechanics And Thermodynamics And 1984-85 Von Kármán Professor Of Aeronautics. From 1972 To 1985 Liepmann Was Director Of The Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory And Executive Officer For Aeronautics From 1976 To 1985. He Retired In 1985, But Remained He Emeritus Von Kármán Professor At Caltech. Liepmann Received Several Awards, Including: 1968: Ludwig-Prandtl-Ring From Deutsche Gesellschaft Für Luft- Und Raumfahrt; 1980: Fluid Dynamics Prize By The American Physical Society; 1985: Otto Laporte Award By The American Physical Society; 1986: National Medal Of Science; 1986: Daniel Guggenheim Medal; 1993: National Medal Of Technology For "Outstanding Research Contributions To The Field Of Fluid Mechanics". Anatol Roshko (1923-2017), A Canadian-Born Physicist And Engineer. He Was The Theodore Von Kármán Professor Of Aeronautics, Emeritus, At The California Institute Of Technology, Pasadena, Ca. Roshko Is Known For His Contributions To Gas Dynamics. He Along With H. W. Liepmann Is The Co-Author Of The Widely Used Textbook "Elements Of Gasdynamics". He Has Made Research Contributions To Problems Of Separated Flow; Bluff-Body Aerodynamics; Structure Of Turbulent Shear Flow. He Completed His Undergraduate Education At The University Of Alberta With A B.Sc. Degree In Engineering Physics, In 1945, Received The M.Sc. Degree From Caltech In 1947 And The Ph.D. In 1952. Most Of His Academic Career Has Been At Caltech, Where He Was The Theodore Von Karman Professor Of Aeronautics, Emeritus At The Time Of His Death. He Was Also A Member Of The National Academy Of Engineering; A Fellow Of The American Institute Of Aeronautics And Astronautics, The American Physical Society, The American Academy Of Arts And Sciences And An Honorary Fellow Of The Indian Academy Of Sciences. Roshko Received Fluid Dynamics Prize By The American Physical Society (Aps) In 1987. He Was Also Awarded The Timoshenko Medal In 1999. In Fluid Mechanics, The Roshko Number (Ro) Is A Dimensionless Number Describing Oscillating Flow Mechanisms. Inscribed by Author(s).
