A special thank you to the Pletcher family
The Richard and Carol Pletcher Seminar Series was established in 2016 with support from the Pletcher family. Richard “Dick” Pletcher served on the ME faculty at Iowa State from 1967 to 2007. During his tenure, Dr. Pletcher made countless research contributions to the fields of fluid dynamics and heat transfer, including co-authoring the popular textbook, Computation Fluid Mechanic and Heat Transfer.
