Eberhard Bodenschatz receives 2014 Stanley Corrsin Award

Eberhard Bodenschatz received the 2014 Stanley Corrsin Award.  The citation reads “For seminal contributions to experimental techniques that enabled quantitative Lagrangian measurements which opened a new subfield of turbulence research.” It has been fascinating to see the advancement in Lagrangian particle tracking measurements since my graduate work in the Bodenschatz group from 1995-2000 and it … Read more
