Bob Bilger
Robert William Bilger FAA (22 April 1935 – 2 October 2015[1]) was a South African born Australian engineer.
He studied at Auckland University College in New Zealand before attending Exeter College, University of Oxford on a Rhodes Scholarship.[2] In 1965 he joined the University of Sydney as a senior lecturer in mechanical engineering before becoming a professor in 1976, where he remained until his retirement in 2006.
He was awarded the status of Fellow[3] in the American Physical Society,[4] after being nominated by the Division of Fluid Dynamics in 2002,[5] for "outstanding contributions to knowledge of turbulent reactive flows through insightful experiments, theory and modelling, especially for elucidating the fundamental processes in turbulent combustion and for the development of the conditional moment closure."
