Theodore von Karman Theodore von Karman Award Born in Jozsefvaros district of Budapest Hungary, on May 11, 1881. von skolloskislaki Karman Todor became to be known as Theodore von Karman. His scientific reputation rested on a series of profound insights on the nature of aerodynamics, which he demonstrated through a highly intuitive style of applied mathematics. He published more then two hundred papers, which laid much of the technical basis of flight. He forged scientific cooperation and founded a number of powerful aerospace institutions.

Theodore von Karman Theodore von Karman can be considered a truly great mind of his time. Even when he grew older, this did not stop him. His genius never staggered at any point in time. He worked with all the great minds of the time such as Einstein and was a major part of the Manhattan Project. Not only was Theodore von Karman part of this great project, but he also led the way with developments that had to do with rockets, jet airplanes, and he even built the first prototype of the helicopter. All of this would seem enough to take up a normal person’s life, but for some one of this type of genius it is only the beginning. He designed and built the first wind tunnel, ever!! Theodore and a lifetime friend founded the company Aerojet, which was the first manufacturer of Jet-Assisted Take Off rocket motors. On top of all this, he was still able to be the professor and head of the Aeronautical Institute at the University of Aachen. Also, he was head of the Caltech Guggenheim's Aeronautical Labs at Pasadena. He was always considered an extremely influential man at these institutions, so much that Karman taught such great minds as Lachmann and Wattendorf.

Born 1881. Died 1963. Personal: Male. Born in Hungary. Theodore von Karman was a Hungarian aerodynamicist who founded an Aeronautical Institute at Aachen before World War I and made a world-class reputation in aeronautics through the 1920s. In 1930 Robert A. Millikan and his associates at the California Institute of Technology lured von Kármán from Aachen to become the director of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at Caltech (GALCIT). There he trained a generation of engineers in theoretical aerodynamics and fluid dynamics. With its eminence in physics, physical chemistry, and astrophysics as well as aeronautics, it proved to be an almost ideal site for the early development of U.S. ballistic rocketry.

16. Theodore Von Karman Theodore von Karman is geboren op 11 mei 1881 in Boedapest, Hongarije en gestorven op 6 mei 1963 in Aken, Duitsland. Hij was een wiskundig wonderkind. http://ta.twi.tudelft.nl/users/vuik/information/karman.html

Theodore von Karman In 1911 deed hij onderzoek aan de alternerende dubbele rij van wervels achter een vlakke plaat in een stroming. Dit verschijnsel is later de Von Karman wervelstraat genoemd. In het volgende jaar werd Von Karman directeur van het Luchtvaart Instituut in Aken. Hij bezocht de Verenigde Staten in 1926 en vier jaar later werd hij directeur van het Aeronautical Laboratory van het California Institute of Technology. In 1933 stichtte hij het U.S. Institute of Aeronautical Sciences, waar hij verder ging met zijn onderzoek aan vloeistofmechanica, turbulentie theorie en supersonisch vliegen. Hij bestudeerde ook toepassingen van de wiskunde op het gebied van werktuigbouwkunde, vliegtuigconstructies en bodemerosie.

was one of the few truly giants of aeronautics that could compete with the great minds of the twentieth century. A genius by all accounts, he made fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of aerodynamics and related technologies well into his late age. During his long career he had three and a half good ideas , which would place him in the top league. The events of his life are food for thought of many books; they included circumstances such as: I was in Pasadena when I received a call from the FBI. An agent informed me that I was wanted immediatly in Miami to question a captured German rocket expert ... (see in particular his autobiography). In his own lifetime he was intimate with high ranking military and political figures in two continents, from WWI to WWII and the Cold War; with the top scientists of the century (Hilbert, Born, Bohr, Einstein, Fermi, Millikan, Sommerfeld, to name a few); with the top aeronautical industrialists (von Zeppelin, Junkers, Douglas, Northrop). As the scientists of the Manhattan Project, he would help shape the direction of the American military in the years of the Cold War. He was involved in a staggering number of technical projects: from the Zeppelins to rockets, from gliders to jet airplanes. He built a prototype helicopter for the Austro-Hungarian Army in WWI, that was the first teethered vehicle to fly (the

Bodies of Minimum Wave Drag Summary Bodies of Minimum Wave Drag Selected References Drag at supersonic speeds include the drag components at subsonic flow conditions (skin friction drag and induced drag) and a wave drag , characteristic of supersonic flows only. This drag component is in fact due to the energy radiated by the aerodynamic system through the shock waves. The wave drag is on turns divided in (wave) drag due to volume and (wave) drag due to lift. It can be proved that the wave drag is proportional to the volume and inversely proportional to the fourth power of the body length. Sears-Haack Body The Sears-Haack body is a slender body of revolution pointed at both ends, that corresponds to the minimum wave drag (for given volume and length) of a linear distribution of sources at supersonic speeds. Figure 1: Sears-Haack body vs von Karman ogive The wave drag of the Sears-Haack body scales with V =volume, L =length). Therefore, for given volume it is convenient to have very long bodies. Doubling the length L at constant V will reduce the wave drag by a factor 8.
