William Craig Reynolds (March 16, 1933 – January 3, 2004) was a fluid physicist and mechanical engineer who specialized in turbulent flow and computational fluid dynamics .[ 2] [ 3]
Reynolds completed his undergraduate degrees, as well as his doctorate, all at Stanford University , in 1954, 1955, and 1957, respectively, after which he joined the faculty. He was chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Department from 1972 to 1982 and again from 1989 to 1992.[ 4]
Reynolds was one of the pioneers in Large eddy simulation for fluid modeling.[ 2] [ 4] National Academy of Engineering in 1979.[ 2] American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1989[ 5] Otto Laporte Award by the American Physical Society in 1992.[ 6]
