Jerry Gollub is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist who demonstrated chaos in fluid flows; APS Fluid Dynamics Prize (2003)
Gollub was an experimental physicist who, with Harry Swinney, made the first laboratory observation of the transition from ordered flow to chaos in a fluid, providing key experimental support for the theory of deterministic chaos. His later work spanned pattern formation, granular materials and mixing. He received the American Physical Society's Fluid Dynamics Prize (2003) and is listed among Jewish physicists in Jewish biographical references (Jinfo).
