Mohamed Gad-el-Hak (born 1945) is an engineering scientist. He is currently the Inez Caudill Eminent Professor of biomedical engineering and professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University.[1]

Biography

Gad-el-Hak was born on 11 February 1945 in Tanta, Egypt.

Gad-el-Hak was senior research scientist and program manager at Flow Research Company in Seattle, Washington, and then professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering at the

Scientific work

Gad-el-Hak has developed diagnostic tools for turbulent flows, including the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique for flow visualization, and discovered the efficient mechanism by which a turbulent region rapidly grows by destabilizing a surrounding laminar flow. His has also published on Reynolds number effects in turbulent boundary layers and on the fluid mechanics of microdevices.

Gad-el-Hak is the author of the book Flow Control: Passive, Active, and Reactive Flow Management, and editor of the books Frontiers in Experimental Fluid Mechanics, Advances in Fluid Mechanics Measurements, Flow Control: Fundamentals and Practices, The MEMS Handbook (three volumes), and Large-Scale Disasters: Prediction, Control, and Mitigation.[3]

An editorial in honor of Gal-el-Hak titled "Homage to a Legendary Dynamicist on His Seventy-Fifth Birthday" appeared in the July 2020 issue of the

Journal of Fluids Engineering.[5]

In 1998, Gad-el-Hak was named the 14th

Alexander von Humboldt Prize as well as the Japanese Government Research Award for Foreign Scholars.[citation needed] In 2002, he was named ASME Distinguished Lecturer.[citation needed] Gad-el-Hak has also been awarded the ASME Medal for contributions to the discipline of fluids engineering, as well as a Certificate of Appreciation.[2]
