A Tribute to Carl Kindsvater and the Georgia Tech Hydraulics Laboratory

Sturm, Terry W. / Martin, C. Samuel

This paper reviews the career of Carl E. Kindsvater who founded the Hydraulics Laboratory at Georgia Institute of Technology. Kindsvater was the recipient of two ASCE Norman medals, the ASCE Collingwood Prize, the Rickey Medal, the Julian Hinds Award, and was a recognized authority on open-channel flow. He is especially known internationally for seminal work on weirs, flow over highway embankments, flow through bridge openings, and hydraulic jumps in sloping channels. Photos of equipment and various experiments reveal his procedures and methods.
