Eight years ago I blogged about Nobel laureates and fluid dynamics research, and last year I commented on a letter in Physics Today complaining that the Nobel Prizes neglect fluid dynamics research. Today I just stumbled about another Nobel laureate who evidently did some research in fluid dynamics, namely Frank Wilczek (Physics, 2004). Evidently back in the 1980s he published research with Alfred Shapere on the physics of swimming, published in the field's top journal, the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. I've included citations below.
Readers, if you know of other examples besides those I've written about here on DTLR, I'd love to know about them.
