Extractions: Theodore von Karman was born in Jozsefvaros district of Budapest Hungary, on May 11, 1881. He left Budapest to study at Göttingen, where he was greatly influenced by Klein, and Paris where he watched some pioneering aviation flights which turned his interest to apply mathematics to aeronautics. In 1911 he made an analysis of the alternating double row of vortices behind a flat body in a fluid flow which is now known as Kármán's Vortex Street. The following year Karman accepted a post as director of the Aeronautical Institute at Aachen in Germany. He visited the USA in 1926 and four years later he was offered the post of director of the Aeronautical Laboratory at California Institute of Technology. Despite his love for Aachen, the political events in Germany persuaded him to accept. His scientific reputation rested on a series of profound insights on the nature of aerodynamics, which he demonstrated through a highly intuitive style of applied mathematics. He published more then two hundred papers, which laid much of the technical basis of flight. He forged scientific cooperation and founded a number of powerful aerospace institutions.

Extractions: An aerodynamicist and a teacher, called one of eight, or so, certifiable geniuses in the world, during the first half of the twentieth century. Most of use know his name by the nose cone design bearing it. Fewer of us understand it, or even use it. Its like an ogive design with a flattened area on it!?!? But the von Karman nose cone is only a small insignificant part of his rocketry legacy. His name may be over-shadowed by other, more publicly popular, rocketry figures, but his contributions to todays aviation and aerospace engineering is monumental. Von Kármán, a native Hungarian, spoke English with a heavy accent. As he put it "I will now speak to you in die unifersal Lankwitch: bad English." At one student seminar von Kármán had talked on and on about "cows." Finally someone realized he was referring to "chaos." After being at Caltech for some time, he returned to visit Germany; however, the people there found his German so heavily accented with English that he was difficult to understand.

Extractions: Theodore von Karman Ministry of Defence . The building was designed to accommodate a large low speed wind tunnel of the Eiffel type with an open return circuit and open-jet test section of 2 m diameter, as well as offices and shops. It still exists and has been refurbished internally after removal of the low speed tunnel to make room for modern turbomachinery and high speed facilities. A second building was added in 1935 to house offices and laboratories. It is now the Institute's administrative building. The last addition was made after the war, in 1949, with the construction of a large building specially designed to house a supersonic tunnel and a multi-configuration low speed facility. During the pre-war years, the civil aviation technical services based in Sint-Genesius-Rode was responsible for the certification, testing and inspection of aircraft or aircraft components and equipment as well as for the aeronautical ground facilities. Belgium was engaged in aircraft design and construction at that time and the low speed wind tunnel was used for the aerodynamic testing of aircraft models or components. It was also used occasionally for non- aeronautical studies. What stands out as the most important and original contribution to aeronautics in the period between 1930 and 1940 is the pioneering work on helicopters carried out at the laboratory under the leadership of Nicolas Florine. Florine was an outstanding scientist who brought to a successful conclusion the design of the first tandem rotor helicopter using co-rotating rotors. This work involved theoretical studies, model testing in the wind tunnel and in free flight, construction of three prototypes and full scale flight; it culminated in October 1933 with the unofficial world flight duration record for helicopters of 9 minutes 58 seconds.

Extractions: Various Views of von Karman Vortices Both the ocean and atmosphere are fluids, in constant motion. On our limited "human"-scale, we are aware of this motion when we feel the wind blow, or when we encounter a current running along the beach while swimming. Yet our eyes alone can rarely observe the larger scale of fluid motion in the ocean and atmosphere. SeaWiFS has the unique ability to observe evidence of fluid motion in both the ocean and the atmosphere from space. Many other meteorological satellites can observe cloud patterns that show the fluid dynamics of the atmosphere, but SeaWiFS (under the right conditions) can also view plankton blooms that display fluid motion in the marine environment. The phenomenon that is shown in the image of Guadalupe Island at the top of this page (acquired on August 20, 1999) features a ubiquitous occurrence in the motion of fluids - a vortex street , which is a linear chain of spiral eddies called von Karman vortices . von Karman vortices are named after Theodore von Karman,

Extractions: Theodor von Kármán Dr. Theodor von Kármán holds an important position among the contributors to aerodynamic theory, particularly in the area of supersonic flight. Known as the father of supersonic flight, he made major contributions to aviation and space technology, theoretical aerodynamics, and the application of theory to improve aircraft performance. He also helped develop the use of rocketry for creating weapons of defense. As a young child in Hungary, von Kármán seemed destined for science. His father was a professor and his mother a descendant of well-known scholars. Born in 1881, Theodor's intelligence was first noticed at age 6 when he solved his older brother's complicated multiplication problems in his head before his brother could complete them on paper. At age 9 he enrolled in an open education laboratory founded by his father that was referred to as a nursery for the elite. By the age of 22, von Kármán had graduated from Royal Joseph University in Hungary with a mechanical engineering degree and highest honors. He enrolled in the advanced study of mechanical engineering after serving his mandatory military service and received his doctorate under the tutelage of the famous aerodynamicist, Ludwig Prandtl. Von Kármán spent the next four years working under Prandtl and helped advance boundary-layer theory and airfoil and wing theory. In 1913 he left Prandtl's supervision to become a professor in aeronautics and mechanics at the Technical University at Aachen, Germany. He was soon appointed the director of the Aachen Aerodynamics Institute.

Extractions: The ocean and atmosphere are fluids in constant motion and we are aware of such motion when we feel the wind blow, or when we encounter a strong current running along a river or the sea shore. However we rarely have the possibility to observe large scale fluid motion in the ocean and atmosphere. An exception is a phenomenon that is shown in the Meteosat image of the Canary Islands below called a vortex street. This feature is, in effect, lines or streets of spiral eddies, called von Karman vortices, and named after Theodore von Karman (1881-1963, co-founder of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory) who first described the phenomenon in the atmosphere. Meteosat-7 (visible channel) 4 April 2001, 10:00 UTC Animation (1.2 MB) Von Karman vortex streets form at all scales of fluid motion. They consist of two roughly parallel rows of vortices positioned such that a vortex in one row is situated opposite the mid-point of two adjacent vortices in the other row (see figure below). Initially, the vortices are comparable in size to the island creating the disturbance. As the vortices move downstream they tend to increase in diameter and they may persist to form a wake 100 km wide and several hundred of kilometres in length. A pair of vortices is created by an island roughly once every 8 hours and may have a duration as long as 30 hours. All the vortices in one row have similar circulation, but opposite to that in the other row.

Today Aerojet - 50 Years of History Aerojet's Beginnings - Late 1930's I t was an unusual group of men who assembled in Theodore von Karman's Pasadena living room in 1936 to discuss the possibilities of sending rockets into outer space: von Karman, an internationally acclaimed professor from the California Institute of Technology Frank Malina, a talented artist and an outstanding graduate student at CalTech Martin Summerfield, PhD candidate at CalTech ; John W. Parsons, a self-taught chemist with a gift for poetry; and Ed Forman, a highly skilled mechanic who had been sharing ideas with Parsons and whose backyard in Pasadena was pock-marked from earlier experiments. Even at an institution like CalTech, rocketry in the 1930s was little more than a curiosity. Everyone sang about the "rocket's red glare," but very few knew - or cared - about how rockets really worked. But the small, impassioned group of scientists in von Karman's living room shared a common dream that stretched the limits of imagination, and they set off to change the future. In 1938 only two government grants were available for aeronautic research, one for rockets and the other for windshield icing. Dr. Jerome Hunsaker of the
