Hermann Schlichting is one of the internationally leading scientists in the field of th fluid mechanics during the 20 century. Invited former scholars of Hermann Schlichting reviewed his work in boundary layer theory and in aircraft aerodynamics followed by presentations of important research results of his institutes today.
This volume contains the contributions to the scientific anniversary colloquium in honor of the 100th birthday of Hermann Schlichting, Braunschweig, September 2007. His outstanding achievements in boundary layer theory and aircraft aerodynamics are reviewed by invited scholars. Contributions of current leading research by the institutes formerly lead by Hermann Schlichting, the Institute of Fluid Mechanics of the Technische Universität Braunschweig and the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology of German Aerospace Center, in the fields of numerical flow simulation, experimental techniques, wing aerodynamics and turbomachinery highlight the lasting impact of his work until today.
