AIAA Fluid Dynamics Award Every year, the AIAA Fluid Dynamics TC awards one individual with the Fluid Dynamics Award for outstanding contributions to the understanding of the behavior of liquids and gases in motion and of the physical properties and dynamical behavior of matter in the plasma state as related to needs in aeronautics and astronautics. (Past Award recipients can be found here.) 2008 Award Recipient Dr. Marvin Goldstein NSAS Glenn Research Center Dr. Goldstein was recognized for seminal theoretical contributions to rapid-distortion theory towards understanding the roles of receptivity and nonlinearity in transition to turbulence, and towards explaining the boundary-layer Klebanoff modes.
