Milton Van Dyke

Milton Denman Van Dyke (August 1, 1922 – May 10, 2010) was Professor of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. He was known for his work in fluid dynamics, especially with respect to the use of perturbation analysis in aerodynamics. His often-cited book ''An Album of Fluid Motion'' presents a collection of about 400 selected black-and-white photographs of flow visualization in experiments, received – on his request – from researchers all over the world.

Together with Bill Sears, Milton founded the ''Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics'', in 1969, for which he was an editor until 2000. Provided by Wikipedia
