In Memoriam: George M. “Bud” Homsy

1943-2024

On March 12, the fluid mechanics community lost a cherished colleague with the passing of George M. “Bud” Homsy from cancer.  Bud is survived by his wife of 59 years, Barbara “Bryn” Homsy, and two sons,: George “Geo” Homsy of Mount Shasta, California, and Robert “Rob” Homsy of Los Angeles.

Bud was born on August 29, 1943, in Fresno, California. Educated as a chemical engineer, Bud received his bachelor’s degree with honors in 1965 from UC Berkeley, and his MS and PhD from the University of Illinois in 1967 and 1969, respectively.  Bud’s thesis research at Illinois focused on thermal convection and was supervised by Jack Hudson.  

Upon completing a NATO postdoctoral fellowship at Imperial College, London, Bud joined the Department of Chemical Engineering at Stanford as an assistant professor in 1970, and was promoted to associate professor in 1976 and full professor in 1979. In 2001, Bud moved to UC Santa Barbara as professor of mechanical engineering, and in 2010 he joined the University of British Columbia as professor of mathematics and mechanical engineering. From 2014 until his death, he was affiliate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Washington. 

Bud’s research was remarkable for its breadth and depth. After joining Stanford, Bud launched efforts that ultimately led to important contributions in the areas of interfacial fluid mechanics (particularly thin-film, Marangoni, and drop/bubble flows) and particulate flows (e.g., fluidization, sedimentation), all while continuing to make advances on a variety of problems related to thermal convection.  

Bud also made significant contributions to the areas of porous media flows and viscoelastic fluid mechanics. Particularly notable is the work he led on the problem of viscous fingering, which occurs when a less viscous fluid displaces a more viscous one in a porous medium. Some of that work is described in his classic 1987 Annual Reviews of Fluid Mechanics article, which has been referenced over 2,000 times as of this writing.

Bud authored or co-authored more than 150 papers in the field of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena. His work was especially influential as it employed not only theoretical approaches, in particular asymptotic analysis, but also experiments and computations. Another major reason for the long-lasting influence of Bud’s scholarship is the clarity, thoroughness, and elegance of his papers. Throughout all of this work, hydrodynamic stability was a major theme, as was the elucidation of physical mechanisms underlying whatever phenomena were under study. 

Bud’s accomplishments were well recognized by his peers.  He was a fellow of the American Physical Society, which awarded him the 2004 Fluid Dynamics Prize, and he served as chair of its Division of Fluid Dynamics during 1989-1990. Other honors include a Bing Fellowship for excellence in teaching at Stanford, Midwest Mechanics Speaker, Talbot Lecturer at UIUC, Batchelor Visitor at DAMTP, Cambridge, and an honorary doctorate from Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse. In 2006 he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. He held Associate Editorships for SIAM J. Appl. Math., Int. J. Multiphase Flow, and Phys. Fluids, and he was instrumental in launching Phys. Rev. Fluids in 2016. Bud served as department chair both at Stanford and at UC Santa Barbara, and he was the Deputy Director of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences at UBC.

Bud was equally passionate about teaching and education, activities that he viewed as tightly coupled to research. Bud spearheaded the development of Multimedia Fluid Mechanics, which was first published in 2001 as a collection of CD-ROMs with the goal of curating the historic collection of fluid mechanics films developed in the 1960s. It subsequently evolved to include virtual labs and computational demonstrations, thus becoming a groundbreaking work in the field of interactive education. Now offered online through Cambridge University Press, Multimedia Fluid Mechanics continues to impact generations of students.

Bud’s dedication to educating and mentoring students was also evident from the fact that for several years he and Bryn lived in the Stanford dorms as resident fellows. As a mentor to graduate students, Bud had a natural instinct for striking the right balance between guidance and freedom, typically providing his students with a “warm-up” problem to build their confidence. He was very generous with both his time and his ideas. Indeed, we are aware of several instances in which Bud declined co-authorship on work by a postdoc or graduate student on the grounds that he didn’t contribute significantly to the work, thus giving the postdoc or /student the satisfaction of having produced a single-author paper!  

While research quality was always foremost on his mind, Bud’s style of interacting with his students was informal. In fact, “Call me Bud” was how he introduced himself when one of us (EM) first met him at a Euromech Colloquium in Germany in 1980, which came as a surprise to German ears. Bud was an equally generous mentor to colleagues, both within the institutions he was associated with and in the broader fluid mechanics community. This generosity continued into the final months of his life.

Although he is no longer with us, Bud’s teaching, scholarship, leadership, and friendliness have left an indelible impression on our community, for which we are extremely grateful.

In Memoriam: Keith Julien

1965-2024

Keith Julien was born on June 12, 1965 in London, England, the second of four children of first-generation immigrant parents from Grenada. He excelled at school, both in academics and sports (soccer and cricket were his passions, as was music). He went on to study Mathematics at King's College, London, receiving his B.Sc. degree with First Class Honors in 1986. He then moved to Cambridge University for the so-called Part III of the Mathematical Tripos and stayed on for his PhD in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, which he received in 1991 for a dissertation on “Strong Spatial Resonances in Convection” under the supervision of Professor M.R.E. Proctor.

In 1991, Keith moved to the University of Colorado, Boulder, to work with Professor Yuri Toomre as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at JILA. After an Advanced Study Postdoctoral Fellowship at NCAR (1994-1996), Keith joined the Applied Mathematics Department (APPM) as an instructor in 1997. He moved through the ranks from assistant professor in 1998 to associate professor with tenure in 2003 and promotion to full professor in 2008. Keith was  elected Department Chair in 2015, a role in which he served until his passing.

Keith was an applied mathematician par excellence and his research has had a major impact on the understanding of fundamental geophysical and astrophysical fluid processes. He was an expert on  the stability, dynamics, and simulation of fluid flows, including rapidly rotating convection, magnetoconvection and fluid turbulence, resulting in more than 80 influential research papers. He was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2017. 

Keith’s most important and consequential contributions are to the field of geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics. In a seminal series of papers, he pioneered the development of  multi-scale asymptotic methods and fast numerical algorithms to derive and simulate reduced sets of equations that approximate the governing Navier-Stokes equations in the limit of extreme parameter values, thereby enabling the exploration of geophysically and astrophysically relevant parameter regimes that are otherwise inaccessible to both state-of-the-art high-performance computation and laboratory investigation. 

These developments led to the discovery of the spontaneous emergence of large-scale structures such as vortices and jets in turbulent rapidly rotating convection, predictions that were subsequently confirmed by direct numerical simulations of the full equations, albeit under much more modest conditions. These advances attracted, in turn, a number of groups to this research area, in both experiment and theory. Together with many collaborators, Keith extended  these ideas to the study of accretion disks in astrophysics, convection in a strong magnetic field, shear-flow instability, wind-driven circulation, and more recently, to ocean mixing by the salt-finger instability. Taken together, these applications demonstrate that highly anisotropic but fully three-dimensional turbulence is susceptible to instabilities generating large-scale coherent structures resembling those present in Earth's atmosphere and oceans. 

As an administrator, Keith’s visionary leadership has left an indelible imprint on APPM and the University of Colorado, Boulder. In 2022 he substantially shaped the reorganization of the College of Arts and Sciences with a new system that strengthens the authority of the three Deans of Division, an idea originally articulated in the Cumalat-Julien Academic Futures White Paper (2018). He played a major role in the development of multiple new degrees, including the BA and BS in Statistics and Data Science, a new BS in Applied Mathematics, and a Professional MS in Applied Mathematics. 

Perhaps most importantly, Keith relentlessly pursued a project to unify departmental space so that APPM PhD students would no longer need to be scattered across different buildings on  campus, as they have been since 1989. Even before serving as APPM Chair, Keith led a committee to develop a plan, a new shared chemistry and applied mathematics facility on April 11, 2024, just three days before his passing, with construction scheduled to begin this fall and occupancy planned for late 2026.

Keith was a true scholar: an insightful and inventive researcher; an energetic, generous, and productive collaborator, and an engaging and effective teacher and mentor. He was a visionary administrator for the CU Department of Applied Mathematics, a devoted partner to his wife Susan, and a loving father to his two sons, Simon and Theo. 

His untimely passing has left many projects unfinished that the author of this memorial and collaborators will endeavor to complete. The first two of these (arxiv:2409.08536 and arxiv:2410.02702) show how Keith's rescaling ideas can be used to perform simulations of rotating convection at Ekman numbers of order 10^{-15} or lower, a six orders of magnitude improvement over existing simulations, reaching geophysically relevant values for the very first time. Keith was proud of this achievement.
