Introduced concept of the boundary layer and is generally considered to be 
the father of present-day fluid mechanics
-----------------------------------
Prandtl was born in Freising, Germany, in 1875. He studied mechanical 
engineering in Munich. For his doctoral thesis he worked on a problem on 
elasticity under August Foppl, who himself did pioneering work in bringing 
together applied and theoretical mechanics. Later Prandtl became Foppl's 
son-in-law, following the good German academic tradition in those days.
