Dieter Langbein, Dr. phil. nat., was a German physicist, whose fields of research included solid state physics, fluid physics and microgravity.
Roger Mark Boisjoly (April 25, 1938 – January 6, 2012) was an American mechanical engineer, fluid dynamicist, and an aerodynamicist who is best known for having raised objections to the launch of the Space Shuttle Challenger the day before the loss of the spacecraft and its crew.

In fluid mechanics, the Cheerios effect is the tendency for small wettable floating objects to attract one another.
Pedrizzetti is a member of the European Society of Mechanics (EUROMECH), American Physical Society (APS), European Society of Cardiology – European Association of Echocardiography (ESC-EAE), ERCOFTACT Committee SIG 37 (Biological Fluid Mechanics) and Scientific Committee CIRHTA (Inter-University Consortium in Health Technology Assessment, Pisa, Italy).
He has made significant seminal contributions in the specific areas of finite element method, plate theory, solid mechanics, variational methods, mechanics of composites, functionally graded materials, fracture mechanics, plasticity, biomechanics, classical and non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, and applied functional analysis.
Bona received his PhD in 1971 from Harvard University under supervision of Garrett Birkhoff and worked from 1970 to 1972 at the Fluid Mechanics Research Institute University of Essex, where along with Brooke Benjamin and J. J. Mahony, he published on Model Equations for Long Waves in Non-linear Dispersive Systems, known as Benjamin–Bona–Mahony equation.
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, a scientific journal in the field of fluid mechanics
Young–Laplace equation, describing pressure difference over an interface in fluid mechanics.
In 1986, he co-authored chapters on the evolution of turbulence in the seminal textbook Course of Theoretical Physics ( (Fluid Mechanics Volume) of Lifshitz and Landau.
Carl-Gustaf Rossby first introduced potential vorticity in his 1936 paper "Dynamics of steady ocean currents in the light of experimental fluid mechanics".
