ISE Fluid Mechanics

Frank M. White is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. He studied at Georgia Tech and M.I.T. In 1966 he helped  found, at URI, the first department of ocean engineering in the country. Known  primarily as a teacher and writer, he has received eight teaching awards and has written  four textbooks on fluid mechanics and heat transfer. From 1979 to 1990 he was editor-in-chief of the ASME Journal of Fluids  Engineering and then served from 1991 to 1997 as chairman of the ASME Board of Editors and of the Publications Committee. He is a Fellow of ASME and in 1991  received the ASME Fluids Engineering Award.
