Contribution
He built the highly-regarded Aerodynamics & Turbulence Laboratory at the University of Houston, where he has trained many successful researchers and performed seminal experiments in jets, mixing layers, wakes, and pipes, focusing primarily on coherent structures (the underlying order in the disorder of fluid turbulence), flow noise, vortex dynamics and vortex-turbulence interactions - innovating measurement techniques using hot-wire and holographic particle velocimetries. He has also extensively employed computational and analytical tools, to obtain results not achievable by state-of-the-art measurement technology, and has further developed fundamental vortex dynamics concepts.Research

Quotations about Hussain
"Dr. Hussain's accomplishments are unprecedented in his field," said Raymond W. Flumerfelt, dean of the Cullen College of Engineering at the University of Houston. "This combination of prestigious awards is an indisputable fact of what we at the University of Houston have known for a long time: Dr. Hussain is the world's leading expert in turbulence studies and fluid dynamics."External links
