CFD researcher Personalty
(1903-1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, and polymath who made pioneering contributions to a wide range of fields, including mathematics, physics, economics, and computer science. In the context of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), von Neumann made significant contributions to the development of numerical methods for solving complex fluid flow problems.

Professor Dudley Brian Spalding, the former head of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Unit at Imperial College London, United Kingdom, passed away on 27 November 2016. A longtime member of The Combustion Institute, Spalding’s work in fluid flow, combustion, and heat and mass transfer deeply influenced the research of CI’s international society of combustion scientists and practitioners. Professor Brian Spalding is the father of engineering CFD. By the late 1960’s, he was leading a CFD group of more than 30 researchers at Imperial College, London, as Professor of Heat Transfer. This group was tackling some of the key issues necessary for engineering CFD to become a reality.
