The award honors the legacy of the late Walter Lempert and is jointly sponsored by the Aerodynamic Measurement Technology (AMT), Plasmadynamics and Lasers (PDL) and Propellants and Combustion (PC) technical committees. Each technical committee nominated one paper for the award with the winner selected by a panel of judges evenly chosen from the AMT, PDL and PC membership.
Retter’s paper was selected as the winner due to its high technical quality and outstanding contribution to innovative advancement of diagnostics for fluid mechanics, plasma physics and energy transfer.
The award will be presented at the AIAA Aviation and Aeronautics Forum and Exposition (AIAA AVIATION) which takes place June 25-29 in Atlanta, Georgia.
