Hermann Glauert

 ( 1892 Births ) 

Glauert independently developed Prandtl-Glauert method from the then-existing aerodynamic theory and published his results in Royal Society in 1928.

In the 1930s, he was the academic supervisor of aerodynamicist and educationalist Gwen Alston.

His school said of him "The tragic and incalculable accident which resulted in the death of Hermann Glauert concerned us also, though less intimately. H. Glauert was a distinguished Edwardian of the early days, leaving the School with a mathematical scholarship to Trinity, Cambridge, in 1910. He became a Fellow of the Royal Society, principal scientific officer at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, and no less than an international authority on aeronautical science (cf Prandtl-Glauert singularity). He was killed by a chance fragment of a tree that was being blown up on Aldershot Common." King Edward VII School Magazine, December 1934

Glauert is buried in the Ship Lane Cemetery, Farnborough. Muriel Glauert died in 1949, and was buried alongside her husband.
