Encyclopedia
Charles Gregory Speziale (June 16, 1948– April 30, 1999) was a scientist who had worked in NASA Langley Research Center and a former Professor in Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering,
Boston University
, Massachusetts
, US
, New Jersey. His father was Peter Speziale. Charles Speziale was the only child in the family.
Charles G. Speziale attended the Newark College of Engineering (currently known as New Jersey Institute of Technology
), where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Civil
Engineering and Applied Mathematics in 1970, and Master's degree in Engineering Mechanics in 1972. He spent the
following year at Rutgers University
, New Jersey to study Mechanical Engineering and continued Ph.D. study in
Princeton University
. In 1977, He received a Ph.D. degree from Princeton University in New Jersey.
Charles Speziale had been a faculty member at Stevens Institute of Technology
.
During the years 1993 - 1999, Charles Speziale taught turbulence and engineering courses in the College of Engineering at Boston University
. He had taught graduate courses in turbulence and focused his research on turbulence modeling. His latest work had been published on the turbulence modelling of computing non-equilibrium turbulent flows in complex flows.
Charles Speziale had been an APS fellow in 1997, cited "For the rational analysis and modeling of turbulent flows that has enhanced our ability to compute complex flows of scientific importance". Charles G. Speziale had been memorized by many researchers for his original work in his fields, especially in turbulence

Turbulence
In fluid dynamics, turbulence or turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic and stochastic property changes. This includes low momentum diffusion, high momentum convection, and rapid variation of pressure and velocity in space and time...
