He is personally responsible for many key advances in aerodynamics , notably his work on supersonic and hypersonic airflow characterization. He was born in Budapest Hungary as Karman Todor, studied engineering at the city's Royal Technical University, graduating in , then received his doctorate from the University of Göttingen in . He taught at Göttingen for four years, but became fascinated by flight after seeing one, and in took a job as director of the Aeronautical Institute at the University of Aachen. He stayed there until (interrupted by service in the Austro-Hungarian army , where he designed an early helicopter Apprehensive about developments in Europe, in he accepted the directorship of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology and emigrated to the United States . In , with Frank Malina he founded a company Aerojet to manufacture JATO rocket motors.

VKI History 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.

Von Karman’s Way By Walter J. Boyne While many of his colleagues held themselves out as pure scientists, von Karman did not stop at the level of theory. He also engaged in practical matters across the entire spectrum of flight. He worked with and contributed to the practical design of helicopters, Zeppelins, and all manner of aircraft, from gliders to rocket-powered airplanes. An early advocate of wind tunnels, he improved their design and saw to it that they were available when needed at the institutions he supported. Although his persona and his normal method of operation were not overly dynamic, he was a great organizer and administrator, a leader who seemed to dispense with paperwork but who nonetheless had in his mind at all times the budget figures of every department under his control.

Encyclopedia Astronautica astronautix.com topic index space wire The human space program has existed in the collective unconscious of humanity since the dawn of awareness. -Frank White von Karman Theodore von Karman Hungarian Scientist. Born 1881. Died 1963. Personal: Male. Theodore von Karman was a Hungarian aerodynamicist who founded an Aeronautical Institute at Aachen before World War I and made a world-class reputation in aeronautics through the 1920s. In 1930 Robert A. Millikan and his associates at the California Institute of Technology lured von Kármán from Aachen to become the director of the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at Caltech (GALCIT). There he trained a generation of engineers in theoretical aerodynamics and fluid dynamics. With its eminence in physics, physical chemistry, and astrophysics as well as aeronautics, it proved to be an almost ideal site for the early development of U.S. ballistic rocketry.

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.

Well, let us try to convince you. These strange cloud formations form in the wake of giant obstacles on Earth, in this case the 4,300-foot- (1.3-kilometer-) high volcanic island of Guadalupe, west of Baja California in the Pacific Ocean. The picture, released last week, was taken by the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) camera aboard the orbiting Terra spacecraft As wind blows from the northwest to southeast (the lower left to upper right in the click-to-enlarge image) it runs into the island and gets spun into vortices, similar to the eddies that form when a receding ocean wave curls around your ankles.

This newsletter is designed to supplement the fourth and fifth grade tours of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's Discovery Center. As you read, you'll see photos from our recent tours, printable worksheets for your students, as well as exciting news, reviews and clues about what's going on with science in history and in the world today. Be sure to let us know what you think. We appreciate your feedback. In this issue, we celebrate National Engineers Week, which took place February 22-28. You can find out more about engineers and National Engineers Week by going to this Website. What Do Engineers Do? Did you ride in a car today? Did you listen to your CD player? Are you planning a trip to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster? The engineer has been, and is, a maker of history. Engineers apply scientific and mathematical principles, experience, judgment, and common sense to make things that benefit people. Engineers design bridges and important medical equipment as well as processes for cleaning up toxic spills and systems for mass transit. In other words, engineering is the process of producing a technical product or system to meet a specific need.

Von Karman Vortex Streets, Canary Islands, 4 April 2001 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.
