Abstract
Keith Julien (June 12, 1965–April 14, 2024) was an applied mathematician who was widely regarded as the preeminent theoretical modeler of rotating convective turbulence, particularly as applied to planets and stars. His work spanned a wide range of fields, including asymptotic methods, advanced computation, geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics, and magnetohydrodynamics. Sociable, brilliant, and always humble, he was a sought-after collaborator and was skilled at coalescing groups, whether to develop new scientific frameworks, drink coffee, or play football (soccer). His pioneering work in multiscale asymptotics and computational physics led to numerous breakthroughs in our understanding of fluid dynamics across a broad range of natural settings. In this memoriam, we discuss Keith's life, the methods he developed, and the scientific and personal legacy he leaves behind.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics is a longstanding publication dating back to 1969 that explores noteworthy advancements in the field of fluid mechanics. Its comprehensive coverage includes various topics such as the historical and foundational aspects of fluid mechanics, non-newtonian fluids and rheology, both incompressible and compressible fluids, plasma flow, flow stability, multi-phase flows, heat and species transport, fluid flow control, combustion, turbulence, shock waves, and explosions.
Recently, an important development has occurred for this journal. It has transitioned from a gated access model to an open access platform through Annual Reviews' innovative Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now freely accessible to the public under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.
This new approach not only ensures broader dissemination of research in fluid mechanics but also fosters a more inclusive and collaborative scientific community.
