Election Remark
Guy Antony Jameson,(born 20 November 1934, Gillingham, Kent) is Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University.

Jameson is known for his pioneering work in the field of computational fluid dynamics.

He has published more than 300 scientific papers (authored or co-authored) in a wide range of areas including computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and control theory.
 
Jameson was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1997 for contributions to aircraft through the development of computational fluid dynamics.

He was awarded the 2005 Elmer A. Sperry Award and received the 2015 AIAA/ASME/SAE/AHS Daniel Guggenheim Medal for lifetime achievement. He is an Honorary Fellow of the AIAA.
 
During his career, Professor Jameson has devised a variety of new schemes for solving the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations for inviscid and viscous compressible flows.

For example, he devised a multigrid-scheme for the solution of steady flow problems and the dual time stepping scheme for unsteady flows.
 
Jameson also wrote the FLO and SYN series of computer programs which have been widely used in the aircraft industry.

He was elected as member of the Euorpean Academy of Engineering in 1998 and promoted as Emeritus in 2004.
