The great computational fluid dynamics pioneer Antony Jameson has passed away.
Was lucky enough to hang out with him a couple of times. Brilliant and a true gentleman.
He completely changed how aircraft were designed and built

Many users are honoring Antony Jameson as a true pioneer whose innovations like FLO-22 seeded the CFD industry and forever changed aircraft design.

#350Went quick with this earlier because I was rushing about but let's have a proper moment for Antony Jameson, who just passed away.
He is a legend in the computational fluid dynamics field. His codes made it possible to shift from testing aircraft in wind tunnels to doing much of the work via simulation.
He co-created the Jameson–Schmidt–Turkel (JST) scheme in 1981, still a foundational algorithm for solving the Euler and Navier–Stokes equations. He produced the first inviscid flow solution for a complete aircraft, and in 1985 achieved the first Euler calculation of flow past a whole aircraft. His FLO and SYN codes were used across Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier, and Embraer,
Jameson altered the course of aviation and had a major influence on ships as well.
He leaves behind a legacy of fantastic students who have also reshaped aerospace.
There's a lovely piece here on him https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/antony-jameson-every-aircraft-you-fly-kaveh-hosseini-muhpc/
@ashleevance Unrelated, but sounds similar to my honor in getting to know the late, great Paul MacCready (of Gossamer Condor fame), back in the day.
@ashleevance True pioneer, game-changed aircraft design forever.
@ashleevance FLO-22, the seed of the entire CFD industry.
@ashleevance Another automation success story. For manufacturers.
@ashleevance May he rest in peace 🤍

@ashleevance Important Info: Kindly show comments to My Celestial Kingdom Operating Systems Motherboard/Co-Inventor/Wife and My Invented Human Being, to be informed that (ALPHA & OMEGA) is TELEPATHICALLY INVADED by Terrestrial & Telestial Kingdoms. Note: I am not joking about the comment.
