Prizes & Awards
APS Honors in the area of Fluid Dynamics
Fluid Dynamics Prize
The Fluid Dynamics Prize recognizes and encourages outstanding achievement in fluid dynamics research. Recipients of this prize are honored at the annual meeting and present a lecture on their work.
Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award in Fluid Dynamics
The Andreas Acrivos Dissertation Award provides recognition to a young scientist who has performed original doctoral thesis work of outstanding scientific quality and achievement in the area of fluid dynamics.
Otto Laporte Award
In 2004, the Otto Laporte award was combined with the Fluid Dynamics Prize so that the Division of Fluid Dynamics would have a single major prize - the Fluid Dynamics Prize. The award had originally been established as a division lectureship to recognize outstanding contributions to fluid dynamics and to honor Otto Laporte.
Division of Fluid Dynamics Honors
François Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics
The Division of Fluid Dynamics awards The François Frenkiel award in recognition of significant contributions to fluid mechanics that have been published in Physics of Fluids during the preceding year by young investigators. The selection of the winner is determined by Frenkiel Award Committee and is presented each year at the DFD Annual Meeting in November.
