Osborne ReynoldsFRS (23 August 1842 – 21 February 1912) was an Irish-born[1][2][3] British[4] innovator in the understanding of fluid dynamics. Separately, his studies of heat transfer between solids and fluids brought improvements in boiler and condenser design. He spent his entire career at what is now the University of Manchester.
