Thank you very much for this conversation. It is very exciting to listen to Mr.Roache and the early days of CFD. As an aeronautical engineer with Ph.D., I came to know him in the early 1990s through his and P.Mueller's 1970 article titled "Numerical Solutions of Laminar Separated Flows" published in AIAA. After all these years, it made me very happy to see and listen to someone whose name and work I only know and therefore I respect. I can't wait to watch the rest of the conversation.
I had the honor of meeting Pat in the early 2000’s at the formation of the ASME V&V Standards Committee on Solid Mechanics. Pat’s guidance and participation in that standards effort lent the committee instant credibility and enhanced the committee’s first standards document. Pat is a most generous person, both professionally and personally. A bit of insight into the this Renaissance man can be had by reading his co-authored book “At Sea At Sixty: Reflections from a Round the World Voyage.”
"Pat is a most generous person, both professionally and personally." Amen. What an example. If more people were like Pat, the world would be a better place.
