He served on the editorial boards of three major technical journals: International Journal for Multiphase Flow, Desalination, and Chemical Engineering Communications. Abe was born in Newark, New Jersey, on January 5,1925.

Such phenomena appear frequently in chemical engineering practice and in many other industrial processes, and proper understanding and modeling constitute a crucial step in the design and scale-up of a large variety of chemical and physical processes. Unfortunately, despite the enormous practical importance of this subject, it is so complicated that most fluid-mechanics research experts chose to take simpler, "cleaner" problems.

With great insight, Abe developed new, unique experimental tools and accompanying analytical methods to examine the detailed behavior of two-phase systems, including capacitance probes for film thickness and bulk-entrainment gauges. These techniques allowed flow-pattern identification from wall-pressure fluctuations, determination of local void-fractions and surfacewave thickness, and droplet-size and diffusion measurements.
