Philip Thompson died on March 23, 2001 at the age of 72 after a decade of being progressively debilitated by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Philip was the author of Compressible Fluid Dynamics, a unique text that emphasized the general
nature of compressible flow. Phil was on the faculty at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute from 1960 until his retirement in 1993. Philip had a special interest in thermodynamics and compressible flow which he explored with his students and collaborators in research at RPI and the Max-Planck-Institut f?r Str?mungsforschung at G?ttingen in the 1970s and 1980s. The emphasis in these studies was the importance of thermodynamic state and real fluid properties on compressible flow phenomena such as nozzle flows, shock and expansion waves. He was among the first to realize the significance of the fundamental gasdynamic derivative to the existence of expansion shocks in real fluids and also the importance of retrograde behavior in fluids with large specific heats. Philip's major scientific achievement is arguably the demonstration of the richness of compressible flow with phase changes, exemplified by his discovery of partial and complete liquefaction shocks.
