Simon Ostrach is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Fluid mechanics
Ostrach was an applied mathematician and mechanical engineer who pioneered the study of buoyancy-driven (natural convection) flows and, later, microgravity fluid science, deriving classic solutions still used in heat-transfer engineering. He led fluid and thermal sciences at Case Western Reserve University. Born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, he is listed among Jewish figures in continuum mechanics in Jewish biographical references (Jinfo).
