Charles Vivant[1] Meneveau (born 1960) is a French-born American fluid dynamicist, known for his work on turbulence, including turbulence modeling and computational fluid dynamics. He is the Louis M. Sardella Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University and Associate Director of the Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science.

Education

Meneveau's B.S. degree was in mechanical engineering from the Federico Santa María Technical University, Valparaíso, Chile in 1985. He attended Yale University, receiving M.S. and M.Phil. degrees followed by a Ph.D. in 1989.[2] His Ph.D. advisor was K. R. Sreenivasan and his thesis was on the multi-fractal nature of small-scale turbulence.[3]

Career and research

Meneveau's first postdoctoral position was at the Stanford University/NASA-Ames's Center for Turbulence Research (1989–90).[2][4] In 1990, he joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Johns Hopkins University, serving as Vice-Chair of the mechanical engineering department (2002–04). From 2001, he has also held a joint appointment in the Department of Geography and Environmental (now Environment and Health) Engineering. He was the director of the Center for Environmental and Applied Fluid Mechanics (2001–12). As of 2018 he is the Louis M. Sardella Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins, and Associate Director of the university's Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science.[2]

Meneveau pioneered the use of the Lagrangian dynamic procedure for sub-grid scale modeling in large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulence. His recent work includes the use of LES for wind-energy-related applications[5] and the development of the Johns Hopkins Turbulence Database[6] for sharing large-scale datasets from high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics calculations.[7]

Awards, honors, societies and journal editorships

Meneveau received the Stanley Corrsin Award awarded in 2011 by American Physical Society "for his innovative use of experimental data and turbulence theory in the development of advanced models for large-eddy simulations, and for the application of these models to environmental, geophysical and engineering applications".[2] In 2016, he was given an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Denmark for "Outstanding and highly innovative scientific achievements in fluid dynamics, particularly for his work on turbulence and atmospheric physics and its applications to wind energy".[8] Earlier awards include the American Physical Society François N. Frenkiel Award for Fluid Mechanics (2001)[2][9] and UCAR Outstanding Publication award (2004).[10]

He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (2018)[11] and an elected Fellow of the American Physical Society,[2] American Academy of Mechanics and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and a foreign corresponding member of the Chilean Academy of Sciences. [12] As of 2018 he is Chair-Elect of the Division of Fluid Dynamics of the American Physical Society[13].

He served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Turbulence[2] (c.2002–15) and as of 2018 is Deputy Editor of Journal of Fluid Mechanics[14] (from 2010).
