Rationality - as opposed to 'ad-hoc' - and asymptotics - to
emphasize the fact that perturbative methods are at the core of the
theory - are the two main concepts associated with the Rational
Asymptotic Modeling (RAM) approach in fluid dynamics when the goal
is to specifically provide useful models accessible to numerical
simulation via high-speed computing. This approach has contributed
to a fresh understanding of Newtonian fluid flow problems and has
opened up new avenues for tackling real fluid flow phenomena, which
are known to lead to very difficult mathematical and numerical
problems irrespective of turbulence. With the present scientific
autobiography the author guides the reader through his somewhat
non-traditional career; first discovering fluid mechanics, and then
devoting more than fifty years to intense work in the field. Using
both personal and general historical contexts, this account will be
of benefit to anyone interested in the early and contemporary
developments of an important branch of theoretical and
computational fluid mechanics.
