The present volume entitled "Perspectives in Turbulence Stud ies"
is dedicated to Dr. Ing. E. h. Julius C. Rotta in honour of his
75th birthday. J. C. Rotta, born on January 1, 1912, started his
outstanding career in an unusual way, namely in a drawing office
(1928 - 1931). At the same time he - as a purely self taught perso-
took a correspondence course in airplane construction. From 1934 to
1945 he worked in the aircraft industry on different subjects in
the fields of flight mechanics, structures, air craft design, and
aerodynamics. In 1945 he moved to Gottingen and worked from that
time at the Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt (AVA, now DFVLR) and the
Max-Planck-Institut fur Stromungsforschung (1947-1958), interrupted
only by a stay in the U. S. at the Glenn L. Martin Company (1954 -
1955) and a visiting professorship at the Laval University in
Quebec, Canada (1956). Already during his activities in industry,
Dr. Rotta discovered his special liking for aerodynamics. In
Gottingen, he was attracted by Ludwig Prandtl's discussions about
problems associated with turbulence and in particular his new
contribution to fully developed turbulence, published in 1945. At
that time, W. Heisenberg and C. F. v. Weizacker pub lished their
results on the energy spectra of isotropic turbu lence at large
wave numbers. Since that time his main research interest in
reasearch has been in turbulence problems."
