Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the contributions of my past and current students and postdoctoral associates with whom I have had the pleasure and honor to work throughout my career. Special thanks to Ali Khosronejad, Xiaolei Yang, Seokkoo Kang, Christian Escauriaza, Toni Calderer, Iman Borazjani, and Anvar Gilmanov, who worked with me at SAFL. All have made major contributions to the development of the computational tools that have enabled us to carry out the simulations that I reviewed in this paper. I am also grateful to a number of experimentalist students, colleagues, and collaborators who helped conduct the experiments and collect the data that enabled us to validate the computational models: Panos Diplas, Michele Guala, Anne Lightbody, Jessica Kozarek, Leonardo Chamorro, Greg Hill, and Chris Ellis.
