IN MEMORIAM: RICHARD J. GOLDSTEIN(First published in IJHMT (vol. 209, Article ID 124155, 2023); reprinted with editor’spermission.)
We report with great sorrow the passing of Professor
Richard J. Goldstein on March 6, 2023, at the ageof 94. He was truly a giant in the fields of thermalsciences research, engineering, and education, andis well known to everyone reading this memoriam.
He was a friend and mentor to many throughout theworld.
Professor Goldstein made major advances in
optical measurement systems for fluid velocity andtemperature, development of cooling designs widelyused in high-performance gas turbines, and novel
and important measurements in thermal convection. He pioneered laser Doppler velocimetry andhot-wire anemometry measurements and a varietyof high-precision mass transfer based techniques tostudy free and forced convection. He was the first toexperimentally confirm the critical Rayleigh number for instabilities in Rayleigh–Bénard convection
with shear-free boundaries. His research has been presented across more than 300 scientific publications. His manystudies on film cooling, including his ingenious use of shaped holes for film cooling of surfaces, along with his numerous investigations on jet impingement cooling, led to increased efficiency and reliability of high-performance gas
turbines for power generation and aircraft propulsion. Many consider him to be the “father of film cooling.”
Professor Goldstein was born in New York City and graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1944. After receiving his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell University in 1948, he went on to pursue his MS in Mechanical Engineering (1950) and MS in Physics (1951) from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Subsequently, hejoined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a Development Engineer in 1951. After a brief stint in the U.S. Army asa first lieutenant, he returned to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in 1956 to pursue a PhD in Mechanical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Ernst R.G. Eckert. During his doctoral pursuits, he was a recipient of the Honeywell
Fellowship (1955–1957) and worked as an engineer for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. After obtaining his doctorate(1959), Professor Goldstein joined the College of Engineering at Brown University as an Assistant Professor. Following a year at Brown University, he joined Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique as a NATO Postdoctoral
Fellow (1960). He ultimately returned to the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in 1961 as an Associate Professor in
the Department of Mechanical Engineering, wherein he progressively served as an Associate Professor (1961–1965),
Professor (1965–1990), Department Head (1977–1997), Regents’ Professor (1990–2018), and Regents’ and James J.
Ryan Professor Emeritus (2018–2023). He had a deep passion for teaching and creating opportunities for others. During his six-decade-long academic career, he mentored 74 doctoral and 82 master’s students, as well as several visiting
and postdoctoral scholars.
Professor Goldstein established a very long record of service to the scientific and engineering community both
domestically and internationally, including major leadership roles, such as President of the Assembly for International
Heat Transfer Conferences, President of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and President ofthe International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT). He served as an honorary member of the Associazione
Termotecnica Italiana (2006) and as the chairman of the honorary editorial advisory board for the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer and the International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer for several years.

Madanan, Lipiński, & SimonProfessor Goldstein’s honors and recognitions include honorary doctoral degrees, visiting professorships, fellowships/memberships in prestigious professional and honorary societies, and honorary editorial advisory board memberships in esteemed journals. His distinguished contributions to the field of heat transfer were recognized through many
prestigious awards, such as the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award (1978), AIChE/ASME Max Jakob MemorialAward (1990), ICHMT Luikov Medal (1990), Nusselt–Reynolds Prize (1993), ICHMT Fellowship Award (2004), andASME Medal (2006). He was also bestowed fellowships in reputed societies, such as the American Association for
the Advancement of Science (1986), American Physical Society (1989), American Society for Engineering Education(1997), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1999), and Royal Academy of Engineering (1999). He was a member of the United States National Academy of Engineering (1985), National Academy of Engineering—Mexico (1991),
European Academy of Science and Arts (2016), and Pan American Academy of Engineering (2019). In recognition ofhis pioneering contributions to the field of energy, the ASME established the Richard J. Goldstein Energy Lecture Awardin 2019. More recently, the ICHMT established the ICHMT Hewitt–Goldstein Young Investigator Award in recognitionof Geoff F. Hewitt and Richard J. Goldstein, pioneering members of the ICHMT and outstanding leaders in the field ofheat transfer and energy.
Professor Goldstein’s most important contributions do not come with awards or medals, but are felt in the heartsof the many students, young faculty members, colleagues, and other acquaintances whom he mentored and otherwise
influenced through their careers. Though often stated to him throughout his career, many written and spoken heartfelt
comments of appreciation were presented in 2018 at a celebration of his 90th birthday.
Professor Goldstein was a major leader in the international heat and mass transfer and energy engineering communities for many years. His passion for scholarship and engineering, leadership, guidance, and support for his friends,
colleagues, and students, as well as his never-ending enthusiasm and kindness will be greatly missed by scientists andengineers around the world.
We offer our deepest condolences.
