This is a comprehensive biography of Ludwig Prandtl (1875-1953),
the father of modern aerodynamics. His name is associated most
famously with the boundary layer concept, but also with several
other topics in 20th century fluid mechanics, particularly
turbulence (Prandtl's mixing length). Among his disciples are
pioneers of modern fluid mechanics such as Heinrich Blasius,
Theodore von Karman and Walter Tollmien. Furthermore, Prandtl
founded the Aerodynamische Versuchsanstalt (AVA) and the
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut fur Stroemungsforschung in Goettingen, both
of them seeds for the growth of fluid mechanics in Germany. Yet
Prandtl was also a representative of aeronautical research - from
Imperial Germany via the Weimar Republic to the "Third Reich".
Although not a party member, he assumed the role of a goodwill
ambassador for Nazi Germany. This objective treatment of his career
will be of interest to all scientists and historians wanting to
learn more about Prandtl's influence and the early development of
fluid- and aerodynamics.
