, About the Authors
Bruce R. Munson, Professor Emeritus of Engineering Mechanics at Iowa State University,
received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Purdue University and his Ph.D. degree from the
Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Department of the University of Minnesota in 1970.
Prior to joining the Iowa State University faculty in 1974, Dr. Munson was on the
mechanical engineering faculty of Duke University from 1970 to 1974. From 1964 to 1966, he
worked as an engineer in the jet engine fuel control department of Bendix Aerospace
Corporation, South Bend, Indiana.
Dr. Munson’s main professional activity has been in the area of fluid mechanics educa-
tion and research. He has been responsible for the development of many fluid mechanics
courses for studies in civil engineering, mechanical engineering, engineering science, and
agricultural engineering and is the recipient of an Iowa State University Superior Engineering
Teacher Award and the Iowa State University Alumni Association Faculty Citation.
He has authored and coauthored many theoretical and experimental technical papers on
hydrodynamic stability, low Reynolds number flow, secondary flow, and the applications of
viscous incompressible flow. He is a member of The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers.
Ted H. Okiishi, Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Iowa State University,
joined the faculty there in 1967 after receiving his undergraduate and graduate degrees from
that institution.
From 1965 to 1967, Dr. Okiishi served as a U.S. Army officer with duty assignments at
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio,
where he participated in rocket nozzle heat transfer research, and at the Combined Intelligence
Center, Saigon, Republic of South Vietnam, where he studied seasonal river flooding problems.
Professor Okiishi and his students have been active in research on turbomachinery fluid
dynamics. Some of these projects have involved significant collaboration with government
and industrial laboratory researchers, with two of their papers winning the ASME Melville
Medal (in 1989 and 1998).
Dr. Okiishi has received several awards for teaching. He has developed undergraduate and
graduate courses in classical fluid dynamics as well as the fluid dynamics of turbomachines.
He is a licensed professional engineer. His professional society activities include having
been a vice president of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and of the
American Society for Engineering Education. He is a Life Fellow of The American Society of
Mechanical Engineers and past editor of its Journal of Turbomachinery. He was recently hon-
ored with the ASME R. Tom Sawyer Award.
Wade W. Huebsch, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace En-
gineering at West Virginia University, received his B.S. degree in aerospace engineering from
San Jose State University where he played college baseball. He received his M.S. degree in
mechanical engineering and his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from Iowa State University in
2000.
Dr. Huebsch specializes in computational fluid dynamics research and has authored
multiple journal articles in the areas of aircraft icing, roughness-induced flow phenomena, and
boundary layer flow control. He has taught both undergraduate and graduate courses in fluid
mechanics and has developed a new undergraduate course in computational fluid dynamics.
He has received multiple teaching awards such as Outstanding Teacher and Teacher of the
Year from the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at WVU as well as the Ralph R.
