Philip L. Roe
Philip Lawrence Roe (born May 4, 1938 in Derby ) is professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor .
Roe graduated from Cambridge University with a bachelor's degree in 1962. He then served until 1984, scientists at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, where he met with aerodynamics of rockets and later computational fluid mechanics dealt computational fluid dynamics (CFD). From 1984 to 1990 he was Professor of Computational Fluid Mechanics at the Cranfield Institute of Technology. From 1990 he was professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Michigan. He was also a NASA advisor from 1993 .
He deals with computational fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics. He made important contributions to high-resolution numerical solutions in the case of hyperbolic conservation laws. An approximate solution for compressible flows with shock waves ( Riemann problem ) is named after him (Roe solver).
In 1992 he received the NASA Group Achievement Award. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics .
