Additional supplementary Information from Dudley Brian Spalding. 9 January 1923 — 27 November 2016

Over a remarkably productive professional life Brian Spalding largely shaped the development of numerical procedures for computing complex turbulent flows. He created a major software company, CHAM, through which the fruits of his group's research could be made available to industry and other research groups across the globe. Thus, he became the outstanding founding figure in the subject now called computational fluid dynamics (CFD). His contributions were by no means limited to strategies for converting systems of non-linear partial differential equations to forms suitable for computer solution; he also brought notable innovations to the physical modelling of combustion, turbulence and two-phase flows.Besides research, he engaged deeply with the research community in heat and mass transfer, becoming a founding editor of two international journals in these areas, and a principal driver behind the creation of the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer in Belgrade. He also served as the inaugural scientific chairman of the European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence and Combustion. He led a protracted and ultimately successful campaign to enable Veniamin Levich to leave the Soviet Union to settle in Israel. Outside of his technical work, his principal passions were poetry and the Russian language, which were intertwined in several published volumes.

在成果丰硕的职业生涯中，布莱恩·斯波尔丁（Brian Spalding）极大地推动了复杂湍流数值计算方法的发展。他创立了知名软件公司CHAM，通过该平台将其团队的研究成果推广至全球工业界与其他科研机构。由此，他成为如今被称为计算流体动力学（computational fluid dynamics，CFD）领域的杰出奠基人。他的贡献绝非仅限于将非线性偏微分方程组转化为适用于计算机求解的形式这一策略，还在燃烧、湍流与两相流的物理建模领域带来了诸多开创性成果。
除科研工作外，他还深度参与传热传质领域的学术共同体，担任该领域两份国际期刊的创刊编辑，并推动促成了贝尔格莱德国际传热传质中心的成立。他还出任了欧洲流动、湍流与燃烧研究共同体的首届科学主席。他发起了一场旷日持久且最终取得成功的运动，帮助弗拉基米尔·列维奇（Veniamin Levich）离开苏联并定居以色列。在科研工作之外，他的主要爱好是诗歌与俄语，二者结合的作品曾被收录于多部公开出版物中。
