Tubes, Sheets and Singularities in Fluid Dynamics FLUID MECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATIONS Volume 71 Series Editor: R. MOREAU MADYLAM Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Hydraulique de Grenoble Boîte Postale 95 38402 Saint Martin d'Hères Cedex, France Aims and Scope of the Series The purpose of this series is to focus on subjects in which fluid mechanics plays a funda- mental role. As well as the more traditional applications of aeronautics, hydraulics, heat and mass transfer etc., books will be publisheddealing with topics which are currently in a state of rapid development, such as turbulence, suspensions and multiphase fluids, super and hy- personic flows and numerical modelling techniques. It is a widely held view that it is the interdisciplinary subjects that will receive intense scientific attention, bringing them to the forefront of technological advancement. Fluids have the ability to transport matter and its properties as well as transmit force, therefore fluid mechanics is a subject that is particulary open to cross fertilisation with other scien- ces and disciplines of engineering. The subject of fluid mechanics will be highly relevant in domains such as chemical, metallurgical, biological and ecological engineering. This series is particularly open to such new multidisciplinary domains. The median level of presentation is the first year graduate student. Some texts are mono- graphs defining the current state of a field; others are accessible to final year undergradu- ates; but essentially the emphasis is on readability and clarity.

PERRY - 19.2.1937 TO 3.1.2001 Tony Perry published extensively in the field of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics in both experimental and theoretical areas. He pioneered many aspects of turbulence studies, three-dimensional flow separation, flow pattern topology, and vortex shedding processes. Tony was also in- ternationally renowned for his work in the study of turbulent boundary layers using hot-wire anemometry. Throughout his career as a member of the academic staff at the University of Melbourne, he spent extended periods at places such as Caltech, Stanford, Princeton, NASA Ames, Harvard, DFVLR Gottingen, and Cambridge. In 1992 he was a Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at GALCIT Caltech, Pasadena. In 1996 he held the Clark B. Millikan Chair of Aeronautics for distinguished vis- itors at Caltech, and in 1999 a Rothschild Visiting Professorship at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences at Cambridge Uni- versity. In 1985 Anthony Perry was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences and in 1998 he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society. Tony was a great engineer and scientist but he will mostly be re- membered for his lectures at many international conferences around the world. In his flamboyant style he would entertain his audience with his simple explanations of the topology of complex three-dimensional flow patterns. He was an inspiration to all the graduate students at the Uni- versity of Melbourne. When there were signs that he would not be able to make it to Zakopane he told Keith Higgins, who had just started his PhD with me, that he had to select a topic which would be not only of scientific interest but also “entertaining”. IUTAM was kind enough to invite us to Zakopane and to invite Keith Higgins to “entertain in the style of Tony Perry”. Associate Professor M.S.
