'''Joel Henry Ferziger''' (24 March 1937 – 16 August 2004) was a Professor Emeritus of mechanical engineering at the [[Stanford University]], [[Palo Alto]], [[California]], United States.<ref>[http://me.stanford.edu/faculty/facultydir/ferziger.html Ferziger] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090214182106/http://me.stanford.edu/faculty/facultydir/ferziger.html |date=2009-02-14 }} at [[Stanford University]]</ref> Ferziger was an internationally recognized authority in [[fluid mechanics]]. His main area of research was [[computational fluid dynamics]]. He was known for developing computer simulations to model complex turbulent flows.<ref>[http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2004/september1/obit-ferziger-91.html Stanford News Service Obituary of Joel H. Ferziger]</ref>

Along with Milovan Peric, he is the coauthor of a widely cited book on computational fluid dynamics titled ''Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics''.<ref>[http://www.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/tocs/100561322.pdf Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics]</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last=Ferziger|first=Joel H.|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-99693-6|title=Computational Methods for Fluid Dynamics|last2=Perić|first2=Milovan|last3=Street|first3=Robert L.|date=2020|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-319-99691-2|location=Cham|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-319-99693-6}}</ref>

Ferziger received his bachelor's degree in [[chemical engineering]] from the [[Cooper Union]] in New York in 1957. He received his master's (1959) and Ph.D. (1962) degrees in [[nuclear engineering]], both from the [[University of Michigan]]. Ferziger started his academic career as an assistant professor of [[mechanical engineering]] at Stanford University in 1961 and was named full professor in 1972. He also held a courtesy professorship in the Department of [[Civil Engineering|Civil]] and [[Environmental Engineering]].

Following his death, Ferziger's wife and daughters established the [https://web.archive.org/web/20090214182106/http://me.stanford.edu/faculty/facultydir/ferziger.html Professor Joel H. Ferziger Memorial Fellowship], awarded annually to a graduate student in Stanford's Mechanical Engineering Department. The first fellowship was awarded to Shashank, a student in the [http://www.stanford.edu/group/fpc/cgi-bin/fpcwiki/ Flow Physics and Computational Engineering Group.]
