The 2024 Batchelor Prize has been awarded to Cambridge Author, Professor Charles Meneveau, Johns Hopkins University.
Professor Meneveau will receive the plaudit in recognition of his high-impact fundamental contributions to the study of turbulence and wall-bounded flows, and for bringing insightful and rigorous fluid mechanics to the science of wind turbines and wind farms for the benefit of society.
“Receiving the Batchelor-named prize from our community is profoundly meaningful for me, my students, postdocs, and collaborators. George Batchelor’s enduring legacy in this field grows more influential each day, especially as fluid mechanics becomes increasingly vital, notably in shaping strategies for sustaining civilization on our Fluid Earth. I am thankful to Cambridge University Press for instituting this prize and look forward to participating in ICTAM 2024.”
Professor Charles Meneveau
The G K Batchelor Prize, named in honor of George Batchelor, an Australian applied mathematician and fluid dynamicist, is only presented once every four years. Founded and sponsored by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (awarded under the auspices of IUTAM), the prestigious accolade is awarded by an international panel of experts for outstanding research in fluid dynamics.
In August 2024, Professor Meneveau will receive the award in person and present his prize lecture in Daegu, South Korea during the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM).
We congratulate Professor Meneveau on his fundamental contribution to knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics,, and we invite you to enjoy free access to a collection of his papers in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
