Why Is Osborne Reynolds Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Osborne Reynolds was an Irish-born innovator in the understanding of fluid dynamics. Separately, his studies of heat transfer between solids and fluids brought improvements in boiler and condenser design. He spent his entire career at what is now the University of Manchester.
