Howard Stevens, head of the electrical division of the U.S. Navy s famed David Taylor Research Center in Annapolis, had similar reservations. On the surface, he said, the technology looks impressive. I feel, though, that it s one of those ideas that when you get down to the dollars and cents, the nuts and bolts, and the hard calculations about how much thrust you re going to get, the payoff just isn t there. ... 

Mike Superczynski, head of the Machinery Technology Branch of the Navy s David Taylor Research Center, is a big man with a booming laugh who knows all about Japanese EMT but is far more interested in what the navy calls S/C electric drive—superconducting electric drive—as it applies to ship propulsion, and specifically to a test craft called Jupiter II. He also knows a lot about superconductivity and likes to tell the story about the admiral who once introduced him to a scientific symposium with the words, Now the super is Mike s middle name, and the czynski is Polish for conductivity. ...

Tri-n-butyltin methacrylate (TBTM) was synthesized by chemists at the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center (DTNSRDC), Annapolis, Maryland. The methods of Dyckman et al. (1 ) and Montermoso et al. (2 ) were used, in which 30 g methacrylic acid was slowly added to 103.8 g bis(tri-n-butyltin) oxide in 300 mL benzene in a flask equipped with a stirrer and reflux condenser. Cooling kept the temperature below 25°C. After all acid had been added, the solution was heated gradually and maintained at 30°C while the water of reaction was removed in vacuo and benzene was added to replace the benzene lost during this period. When the solution became clear, the benzene was removed and the resulting pale yellow viscous liquid was diluted with 100 mL ether and cooled to -20°C. The product separated as long, thick, transparent needles. The yield was close to theoretical and the ra.p. was 18°C.

We thank the David Taylor Naval Ship Research and Development Center, Annapolis, MD for financial support and for acquiring the hydraulic fluid samples. 

The research interests of Aref included theoretical and computational fluid mechanics, particularly vortex dynamics, the application of chaos to fluid flows, and the mechanics of foams. He was co-editor of two books and author of more than 70 papers in premier journals. He was associate editor of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics from 1984 to 1994, foimding editor with David G. Crighton (1942-2000) of the Cambridge Texts in Applied Mathematics, and prior to his death served on the editorial board of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics and as co-editor of Advances in Applied Mechanics. He was recipient of the G.I. Taylor Award in 2011. He also received the 2000 Otto Laporte Award of the American Physical Society APS, Division of Fluid Dynamics. He was an APS Fellow, Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics, the Danish Center for Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, and the World Innovation Foundation. Aref was a scholar of high repute, a giant in the field of fluid mechanics, and most of all, a kind and caring mentor.
