SREENIVASAN DANIEL DONALD JOSEPH, a highly versatile fluid dynamicist, died on May 24, 2011, at the University of Minnesota Hospital. He was Regents Professor Emeritus and Russell J

Among other topics, they present original work on the global stability and uniqueness of flow through annular ducts, Couette flow between rotating cylinders, spiral Couette-Poiseuille flows, and flow between concentric rotating spheres. He also discussed the global stability of a motionless heterogeneous fluid with constant gradients of temperature and concentration, the variational theory of turbulence applied to convection in porous materials heated from below, stability problems for viscoelastic fluids, and problems of interfacial stability.

, coauthored with Yuriko Renardy. A good part of this work concerns the loss of stability of interfaces between phases, an area in which Dan devised a number of elegant experiments to explore physical phenomena and proposed simple explanations for his observations.

From page 177... ...
The "drafting-kissing-tumbling" scenario, corresponding to a rearrangement mechanism by which a sphere interacts with the wake of the preceding one, has now become the standard test case in the validation of direct numerical simulation techniques for particulate flows. In the last decade of his life Dan worked on viscous irrotational flows, and regarded this work as best suited to his taste -- fundamental yet specific.

From page 178... ...
He consulted for 13 companies on a variety of problems involving, mostly, multiphase and viscoelastic flows, and held ten patents on tools to address practical problems (e.g., a tensiometer to determine the interfacial tension between immiscible liquids, methods for preventing fouling of pipe walls for lubricated transport, processes for suppressing foam formation in a bubble reactor, and a process for pumping bitumen froth through a pipeline)

He is survived by his wife Kathleen Joseph, sons Charles Joseph and Samuel Guillopé Weissler, daughter Shifra Chana Hendrie, and 13 grandchildren.
