About
Professor Saffman
Philip G. Saffman, the Theodore von Kármán Professor of Applied Mathematics and Aeronautics, Emeritus, at the California Institute of Technology, studied vortex instability and the dynamics of arrays of vortices. In particular, he looked into the phenomenon of viscous fingering, which became known as the "Saffman-Taylor Instability." This occurs when a low-viscosity fluid is injected into a higher-viscosity fluid.
