Fluid Dynamics Prize (APS)
Encyclopedia
The Fluid Dynamics Prize is a prize that has been awarded annually by the American Physical Society
(APS) since 1979. The recipient is chosen for "outstanding achievement in fluid dynamics
research". As of 2007 the prize is valued at $10,000. In 2004, the Otto Laporte Award
—another APS award on fluid dynamics—was merged into the Fluid Dynamics Prize.

Otto Laporte Award
The Otto Laporte Award was an annual award by the American Physical Society to "recognize outstanding contributions to fluid dynamics" and to honour Otto Laporte . It was established as the Otto Laporte Memorial Lectureship by the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics in 1972, and became an APS award in...
