This volume consists of papers dedicated to Professor David A. Caughey on the
occasion of his 60th birthday. Most of the papers were presented at a symposium
entitled “Computing the Future IV,” which was held at Cornell University in
Ithaca, New York on June 22-24 2004. The authors are friends and colleagues
of David, and it is with great pleasure that this book is dedicated to him in
appreciation for his contributions to the field.
David was born on March 5, 1944 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He received
his Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering in
1965 from the University of Michigan, and his M.A. (1967) and Ph.D. (1969) degrees
in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences from Princeton University. He was
an Exchange Scientist at the Computing Center of the Soviet Academy of Sciences
in Moscow from October 1969 to August 1970. He worked at McDonnell
Douglas Research Laboratories in St. Louis, Missouri as a scientist from 1971 to
1975. He joined Cornell University in 1974 as a visiting assistant professor in the
Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, converted to a regular
tenure-track assistant professor the following year , and became a full professor
in 1984. He served as director of the Sibley School from 1993 to 1998. During
the past 30 years he taught several courses at both undergraduate and graduate
levels, including Fluid Mechanics, Aeronautics, Compressible and Incompressible
Aerodynamics, Aerospace Propulsion, Flight Dynamics, and Computational
Aerodynamics. He has supervised 18 Ph.D. students, 5 M.S. students, and the
design projects of 23 Master of Engineering students.
He has spent sabbatical leaves at Princeton University (in 1981), at the
NASA Ames Research Center (in 1989), the Air Force Research Laboratory
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (in 1998) and the University of Wales in
Swansea, Wales, U.K. (in 1999 and again in 2004).
David has been fortunate in being able to study, and collaborate, with an
outstanding array of talented teachers and researchers. He was a student of
Professor Wallace Hayes at Princeton, he worked with Professor Oleg S. Ryzhov
in Moscow, with Dr. Raimo Hakkinen at the McDonnell Douglas Research
Laboratories, with Professor Antony Jameson at Princeton, and more recently
with Professor Stephen Pope at Cornell. During his sabbatical leaves, he visited Dr. Gil Chyu at NASA Ames, Dr. Joseph Shang at Wright Patterson and Professors
Ken Morgan, Oubay Hassan, and Nigel Weatherill in Swansea.
To date, he has given about 90 invited lectures and seminars, written 135
papers, and he is still very active in research and teaching. He has been a
consultant to many companies and agencies. He was Associate Editor of AIAA
Journal from 1989 to 1991 and Technical Editor of the English Translation of
Izvestia: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics from 1988-1991. He has been a
reviewer for the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, as
well as many journals in his field.
David has received many awards and honors, as a student, as a teacher and
as a researcher. In 1965, he received the Outstanding Achievement Award from
the Department of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering, University of
Michigan. He received a Graduate Traineeship from NASA in 1967-1968 and
an NSF Graduate Fellowship from 1965-1967 and 1968-1969. In 1977, he received
the Excellence in Engineering Teaching Award from the Cornell Society
of Engineers and the Cornell Chapter of Tau Beta Pi. In 1979 he received the
Lawrence Sperry Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
(AIAA) “for outstanding contributions toward the efficient numerical
computation of transonic flow fields about complex configurations of practical
interest.” He also received a Certificate of Merit from NASA Langley Research
Center in 1980 for the creative development of technology which is the subject
of NASA Tech Brief Publication entitled “FLO-22 - Numerical Calculation of
the Transonic Flow past a Swept Wing.” He was elected a Fellow of the AIAA
in 1994 “for pioneering contributions to the theory and application of computational
aerodynamics.” In 1998, he received the Archie Carter Publishing Award
from the American Society of Civil Engineers “in recognition of the development
of Fluid Mechanics: An Interactive Text,” utilizing state-of-the-art technologies
to teach college students. In the same year, he also received the First Place
Award for Excellence in Technology Innovation from the American Society of
Association Executives “for pioneering development of the first electronic textbook
in engineering fluid mechanics.” In 2003 David received a Special Service
Citation from AIAA, “in recognition of service as Faculty Advisor at Cornell
University as well as technical contributions to AIAA and to the Industry.”
Finally, David is particularly proud of having been appointed as an Honorary
Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Wales, Swansea,
for the years 2005-2010, and is grateful to Ken Morgan, Nigel Weatherill, and
Oubay Hassan for their friendship and support over the years.
