born Feb. 4, 1875, Freising, Ger. died Aug. 15, 1953, Göttingen, W.Ger. German physicist, considered the father of aerodynamics. He taught at the University of Göttingen (1904-53). His 1904 discovery of the boundary layer at the surface of a body moving in air or water led to an understanding of skin friction drag and of the way streamlining (see streamline) reduces the drag of airplane wings and other moving bodies. His work on wing theory explained the process of airflow over airplane wings
