Fazle Hussain

AKM Fazle Hussain ( born January 20, 1943 in Dhaka, Bangladesh ) is an American engineer scientist.

Hussain studied mechanical engineering at Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and then at Stanford University, where he earned his master's degree in 1966 in Mechanical Engineering ( Mechanical Engineering ) in 1970 and his doctorate. In 1971 he became assistant professor in 1976 and professor at the University of Houston ( Cullen Distinguished Professor from 1989 ).

Hussain did his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Following his MS and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University in 1966 & 1969 under the guidance of William C. Reynolds, Hussain was a post -doctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins University with Leslie SG Kovasznay and Stanley Corrsin.

He dealt with various fields of hydrodynamics, both theoretically and experimentally. Among other things, turbulence, chaos, fluid dynamics, aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, hydrodynamic stability, jets, boundary layers, biological applications of hydrodynamics.

In 1998 he received the hydrodynamics Prize of the American Physical Society, 2000 the fluids Engineering Award of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME ) and in 2002 the Fluid Dynamics Award of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and the Third World Academy of Sciences. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the ASME:
