Francis H. Harlow
Francis Harvey Harlow (22 January 1928 – 1 July 2016)[1] was an American theoretical physicist known for his work in the field of fluid dynamics.[2] He was a researcher at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico. Harlow is credited with establishing the science of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as an important discipline.[3]
He is known for his fundamental contributions to the development of several CFD
Awards and honors
Harlow was a fellow of the American Physical Society since 2003. He was selected "For his contributions to our understanding of low-speed, free-surface, and turbulent flow through computational modeling, and his invention of completely original methods to address these issues."[4] In 2004, he received Los Alamos Medal, the highest honor given to an individual or small group by LANL.[3]
