Joseph Kampé de Fériet
Marie-Joseph Kampé de Fériet (born March 14, 1893 in Paris , † April 6, 1982 in Villeneuve-d'Ascq ) was a French applied mathematician and professor of mechanics.
Life
He obtained his licentiate at the Sorbonne in 1913 and received his doctorate in 1915 under Paul Appell . From 1913 he set up a radio time announcement at the observatory in Paris and during the First World War he researched ballistics in coastal artillery. From 1919 to 1969 he was professor of mechanics at the Faculté des Sciences in Lille and in 1930 founded the Institut de mécanique des fluides de Lille (ONERA Lille), of which he was the first director. He was also professor of mechanics, information theory and cybernetics at the Institut industriel du Nord ( École centrale de Lille ). When the Ministry of Aviation was founded in 1928 , it was decided to set up four aerodynamics institutes, one in Lille, of which Kampé de Fériet became director. In addition to aeronautics, they also dealt with industrial applications for ventilation of factories. When the Commission for Atmospheric Turbulence was founded in 1935, he also did research in meteorology (with studies in the Alps and in the laboratory).
He researched turbulence and the Navier-Stokes equation and dealt with hydro- and aerodynamics as well as analysis ( hypergeometric functions and generalizations).
