Detlef Lohse (born September 15, 1963 in Hamburg ) is a German physicist who deals with hydrodynamics .

life and work

Lohse studied physics at the Universities of Kiel and Bonn (as a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation since 1985), where he graduated in 1989 (Pion-Pion-Interaction), carried out at the Jülich nuclear research facility . In 1992 he did his doctorate at the University of Marburg with Siegfried Großmann “summa cum laude” (fully developed turbulence) and completed his habilitation there in 1997 (sonoluminescence - a hydrodynamic approach). Between 1993 and 1995 he was a post-doc at the James Francklin Institute of the University of Chicago with Leo Kadanoff and research assistant at the University of Marburg. In 1998 he was a Heisenberg fellow at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich with Herbert Wagner . Since 1998 he has been professor for hydrodynamics at the University of Twente in Enschede .

Lohse researched, among other things, sonoluminescence , bubble dynamics and cavitation , scaling in turbulent thermal convection, micro- and nanofluidics, granular matter (including quicksand and impact craters), two-phase flow, ultrasonic acoustics. He works both theoretically and experimentally. He is best known for clarifying the phenomenon of single-bubble sonoluminescence. Lohse and co-authors were able to create a phase diagram of the phenomenon and explain the glow as thermal bremsstrahlung . Lohse is also exploring applications for example in ink jet printers in Medicine (bubble injection, behavior present in droplets contrast agents in diagnostic inserted ultrasound) as well as the intense sound production in the collapse of cavitation bubbles, which from a quick snap of the scissors of bang shrimp are produced (by Lohse and colleagues named shrimp poluminescence because they were able to detect a glow in this phenomenon).

In 1997 he received the Heinz Maier Leibnitz Prize . In 2005 he received the Spinoza Prize and in 2009 the Simon Stevin Mastership Prize. In 2010 he was appointed a knight in the Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw by the Queen . He has been a member of the Leopoldina since 2002 . Since 2005 he has been a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences . He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2002 (especially for his elucidation of sonoluminescence) and of the Institute of Physics since 2004 . He is on the scientific council of the Lorentz Center in Leiden and from 2002 to 2005 in the council of the Dutch Physical Society. Since 2007 he has been on the Executive Board of the FOM (Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie). He is co-editor of the Journal of Fluid Dynamics, Nonlinearity, Physica D, Physical Review E, Journal of Statistical Mechanics Theory and Experiment, Journal of Turbulence, among others. Lohse has been an "External Scientific Member" of the Max Planck Society at the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (Göttingen) since 2015. In 2017 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering and received the hydrodynamics award from the American Physical Society . For 2018 he was awarded the Balzan Prize and for 2019 the Max Planck Medal of the German Physical Society .
