Azar Panah Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Book Title: An Album of Fluid Motion

Author: Milton Van Dyke

Selection Statement:

I became obsessed with this book the second one of my professors showed it to us in class. Many beautiful black-and-white photographs, collected from around the world, illustrate the great diversity of fluid motion and imaging techniques. This book inspired me to develop a new course, Flow Visualization, at Penn State and to win three Gallery of Fluid Motion (GFM) awards. Now I am honored to be the GFM coordinator for the American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics.
