Prize Recipient


Andreas Acrivos

Citation:

"For his outstanding research in fluid mechanics, characterized by unusual physical insight, intellectual rigor, and breadth, including major contributions to asymptotic theories of convective transport processes, low Reynolds number hydrodynamics, boundary-layer separation, suspension mechanics and the dynamics of bubbles and drops; for his exceptional record of leadership and service within the fluid mechanics community; and for his impact as an educator and mentor."
