Antony Jameson
Antony Jameson ( born 1934 in Gillingham, Kent ) is a British scientist engineer for aerodynamics and aircraft engineering and applied mathematicians.
Jameson was the son of a British officer ( Brigadier Oscar Jameson ) and grew up as a child partly on in India, where his father was stationed. He visited in 1948 with a grant from the Winchester College and served from 1953 to 1955 as a lieutenant in the British Army in Malaysia. Back in England, he worked briefly at Bristol Aero Engines in the design division for the compressors before at the University of Cambridge ( Trinity Hall ) Engineering Science studied the Bachelor's and Master's degree in 1958. Followed in 1963 a PhD in magnetohydrodynamics in Cambridge, where he to 1963 was Research Fellow. In 1962, he worked as a Sloan Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 1964/65 he worked as an economist for the Trades Union Congress and was then a senior mathematician at Hawker Siddeley Dynamics in Coventry. In 1966 he went to the USA in the aerodynamics department at Grumman Aerospace in New York. There he dealt with the numerical computation of transonic flow, which he continued from 1972 at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. He became professor of computer science at New York University and in 1980 professor of aeronautical engineering at Princeton University in 1972, from 1982 as a James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor. 1986 to 1988 he was director of the program of Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton. Since 1997 he is Thomas V. Jones Professor at Stanford University.
He is known for work in computational fluid dynamics of aircraft, especially in the transition region to the supersonic ( transonic ). From him in the aircraft industry widespread FLO, SYNC, and AIRPLANE codes come in computational fluid mechanics. He developed a number of new methods of solution of the Euler equation and the Navier -Stokes equations ( with compressible flow ) as a multigrid method for the solution of problems of stationary flow and a dual time -step method for unsteady flow.
He received the 1980 NASA Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement, 1988, the Gold Medal of the British Royal Aeronautical Society, 1995, the Spirit of St. Louis Medal of the ASME, 2005 Fluid Dynamics Award of the Association for Computational Mechanics, 2006 Elmer A. Sperry Award and he is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. He holds honorary doctorates from the University of Paris (2001) and Uppsala ( 2002).
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society (1995), the National Academy of Engineering ( 1997), the Royal Academy of Engineering ( 2005) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Fluid Dynamics Award which he received in 1993. In 1986 he received an honorary professorship at the Northwest Polytechnic University, Xi'an, China.
