In Memoriam: Richard J. Goldstein
We report with great sorrow the passing ofProfessor Richard J. Goldstein on 6 March 2023
at the age of 94. He was truly a giant in the fieldsof thermal sciences research, engineering, andeducation, and is well known to everyone
reading this memoriam. He was a friend andmentor to many throughout the world.
Professor Goldstein made major advances in
optical measurement systems for fluid velocity
and temperature, development of cooling de­signs widely used in high-performance gas tur­bines, and novel and important measurementsin thermal convection. He pioneered laser Doppler velocimetry and hotwire anemometry measurements and a variety of high-precision masstransfer based techniques to study free and forced convection. He was
the first to experimentally 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 publi­
cations. His many studies 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 andreliability of high-performance gas turbines for power generation andaircraft 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 MechanicalEngineering from Cornell University in 1948, he went on to pursue hisM.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering (1950) and Physics (1951) fromthe University of Minnesota Twin Cities. Subsequently, he joined theOak Ridge National Laboratory as a Development Engineer in 1951.
After a brief stint in the US Army as a first lieutenant, he returned to theUniversity of Minnesota Twin Cities in 1956 to pursue a Ph.D. degree in
Mechanical Engineering under the guidance of Dr. Ernst R. G. Eckert.
During his doctoral pursuits, he was a recipient of the Honeywell
Fellowship (1955–57) and worked as an engineer for Lockheed Aircraft
Corporation. After obtaining his doctorate (1959), Professor Goldsteinjoined the College of Engineering at Brown University as an AssistantProfessor. 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 MechanicalEngineering, 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 Pro­
fessor Emeritus (2018–2023). He had a deep passion for teaching andcreating 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 thescientific and engineering community both domestically and interna­
tionally, including major leadership roles, such as President of the As­
sembly for International Heat Transfer Conferences, President of theAmerican Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and President of theInternational 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 theInternational Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer and the International
Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer for several years.
Professor Goldstein's honours and recognitions include honorary
doctoral degrees, visiting professorships, fellowships/memberships inprestigious professional and honorary societies, and honorary editorialadvisory board memberships in esteemed journals. His distinguishedcontributions to the field of heat transfer were recognized through manyprestigious awards such as the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award(1978), the AIChE/ASME Max Jakob Memorial Award (1990), theICHMT Luikov Medal (1990), the Nusselt–Reynolds Prize (1993), theICHMT Fellowship Award (2004), and the ASME Medal (2006). He wasalso bestowed fellowships in reputed societies such as the American
Association for the Advancement of Science (1986), the American
Physical Society (1989), the American Society for Engineering Educa­tion (1997), the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1999), andthe Royal Academy of Engineering (1999). He was a member of theUnited States National Academy of Engineering (1985), the National
Academy of Engineering—Mexico (1991), the European Academy ofScience and Arts (2016), and the Pan American Academy of Engineering(2019). In recognition of his pioneering contributions to the field ofenergy, the ASME established the Richard J. Goldstein Energy LectureAward in 2019. More recently, the ICHMT established the ICHMTHewitt–Goldstein Young Investigator Award in recognition of Geoff F.
Hewitt and Richard J. Goldstein, pioneering members of the ICHMT andoutstanding leaders in the field of heat transfer and energy.
Professor Goldstein's most important contributions do not come withawards or medals, but are felt in the hearts of the many students, young
faculty members, colleagues, and other acquaintances whom he men­
tored 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 andmass transfer and energy engineering communities for many years. Hispassion for scholarship and engineering, leadership, guidance, andsupport for his friends, colleagues and students, and never-ending
enthusiasm and kindness will be greatly missed by scientists and engi­
neers around the world.
