Hermann Glauert, FRS (4 October 1892 – 6 August 1934) was a British aerodynamicist and Principal Scientific Officer of the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough until December 1934. Glauert was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire; his father Louis Glauert was a cutlery manufacturer.〔 He died in Aldershot, Hampshire. Glauert wrote numerous reports and memoranda dealing with aerofoil and propeller theory. His book, The Elements of Aerofoil and Airscrew Theory was the single most important instrument for spreading airfoil and wing theory around the English speaking world. Glauert independently developed Prandtl-Glauert method from the then-existing aerodynamic theory and published his results in ''The Proceedings of the Royal Society'' in 1928. He died in an accident in a small park in Fleet common in Farnborough.〔Anderson.J.D, Modern compressible flow; Mcgraw hills; third edition.〕 He is buried in the Ship Lane Cemetery, Farnborough, in a grave shared with his wife and fellow RAE Farnborough aerodynamicist Muriel Glauert, née Barker (1892–1949) who, upon her death, was subsequently buried alongside. They had three children, a son, Michael (1924–2004), and twins Audrey (1925-2014) and Richard (1925-). ==Publications== * ''The Elements of Aerofoil and Airscrew Theory'' - Cambridge University Press - 1926 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hermann Glauert」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
