Daniel D. Joseph

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Donald Joseph (born March 26, 1929 in Chicago , Illinois , † May 24, 2011 ) was an American engineering scientist who dealt with hydrodynamics .

Joseph received his master's degree in sociology from the University of Chicago in 1950 and then studied mechanical engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology with a bachelor's degree in 1959, a master's degree in 1960 and a doctorate in 1963. From 1962 he was an assistant there Professor and from 1963 assistant professor of aircraft technology at the University of Minnesota , where he received a full professorship in 1968. Most recently he was Regents and Russell J. Penrose Professor there .

He dealt with numerical simulation and stability in hydrodynamics, in particular of viscous and viscoelastic materials and flows (for example of petroleum flow in porous media including multiphase flow, foaming). He was a consultant for various companies (such as Gilette, Schlumberger, Hoechst, Shell, Proctor-Gamble).

He received the Society of Rheology's Bingham Medal in 1993 , the GI Taylor Medal in 1990 , the Timoshenko Medal in 1995 , and the American Physical Society's Hydrodynamics Prize in 1999 . He was a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (1991), the American Physical Society , the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1993), and the National Academy of Engineering (1990). In 1992 he was a GI Taylor Lecturer in Cambridge .

He had been married since 1990 and had three children.
