Three distinguished persons, Torahiko Terada, Itiro Tani and Isao Imai, were more or less associated with the Aeronautical Research Institute. Before the establishment of the Institute, von Karman and Prandtl were invited to the Institute to give series of lectures. Terada discovered a sequence of rolling eddies in the boundary layer cooled from above (or heated from below). Tani studied wing shapes and proposed a new wing which keeps its boundary layer laminar as long as possible. Imai resolved a paradox of divergence problem in an asymptotic solution starting from the Oseen equation, for a flow around a solid body placed in a uniform stream., 資料番号: AA0063908007, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-07-026E}, pages = {21--24}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {Early times of fluid mechanics in Japan: Terada, Tani, Imai, and Aeronautical Research Institute}, volume = {JAXA-SP-07-026E}, year = {2008} }
