Paco Axel Lagerstrom (1914 - 1989) Was An Applied Mathematician And Aeronautical Engineer. He Was Trained Formally In Mathematics, But Worked For Much Of His Career In Aeronautical Applications. He Was Known For Work In Applying The Method Of Asymptotic Expansion To Fluid Mechanics Problems.[3] Several Of His Works Have Become Classics, Including "Matched Asymptotic Expansions: Ideas And Techniques". In 1946, Lagerstrom Was Recruited By Hans Liepmann To The Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory At Caltech.[5] He Was Later Promoted To Professor Of Aeronautics In 1952 And Professor Of Applied Mathematics In 1967, Having Departed Only Briefly To The University Of Paris In 1960-1961 As Visiting Professor On A Guggenheim Fellowship. His Book "Laminar Flow Theory", Initially Published In 1964 In The Theory Of Laminar Flows, Edited By F.K.Moore, Is Still Considered As The Standard Textbook For Fluid Mechanics. Anatol Roshko (1923-2017) 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. Signed by Author(s).…
