Philip Klebanoff is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Experimentalist of boundary-layer transition to turbulence; APS Fluid Dynamics Prize (1981)
Klebanoff was an American experimental fluid dynamicist at the National Bureau of Standards whose meticulous studies of boundary-layer turbulence and transition — including the 'Klebanoff modes' named for him — became reference works, earning the American Physical Society's Fluid Dynamics Prize in 1981. A graduate of Brooklyn College, he is listed among Jews in continuum mechanics by the Jewish biographical database Jinfo.org.
