[Knudsen, Rachel W]

Dear colleagues and students,

Please join us this Friday for the opening seminar of the Center for Thermofluid-Mechanics seminar series. We welcome Prof. John Lienhard, author and voice of The Engines of Our Ingenuity, to give the seminar titled:

" It all began with hydraulics "
John H. Lienhard
Emeritus Professor of Mechanical Engineering and History

Abstract: The engineering world that I entered, just after WW-II, focused on hydraulics.  The mathematical world of fluid mechanics had accomplished much, by then.  But it had gained little traction in engineering.  That old world of hydraulics was still almost every engineer’s starting point.  It was a world of pipes, turbines, open channels, and pumps – completely devoid of field equations or even partial derivatives. Yet it was a field rich in phenomena and problems.  I take the liberty of speaking personally about the way hydraulics informed and drove every aspect of my own long adventure in studying fluid flow.

Date: Friday, August 30th, 2019
