Who founded a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the field of fluid mechanics?
George Batchelor George Keith Batchelor FRS (8 March 1920 – 30 March 2000) was an Australian applied mathematician and fluid dynamicist. He was for many years the Professor of Applied Mathematics in the University of Cambridge, and was founding head of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). In 1956 he founded the influential "Journal of Fluid Mechanics" which he edited for some forty years. Prior to Cambridge he studied in Melbourne High School.
Landau–Hopf theory of turbulence In physics, the Landau–Hopf theory of turbulence, named for Lev Landau and Eberhard Hopf, was until the mid-1970s the accepted theory of how a fluid flow becomes turbulent. The theory says that as a fluid flows faster, it develops more and more Fourier modes. At first a few modes dominate, but under stronger forcing the modes become power-law distributed, as in Kolmogorov's theory of turbulence.
