Brown was elected a Fellow "For seminal contributions to the understanding of structure and mixing in turbulent shear flows." Professor Phillip John Holmes was elected a Fellow "For fundamental contributions to the theory of non-linear dynamics and the development of ground-breaking applications inclassical, solid and fluid mechanics, neuro-science, and cognitive pscylogy." Professor Chung King Law was elected a Fellow "For sustained and outstanding contributions to the fundamentals of combustion, notably those on the dynamics and combustion of droplets, the dynamics, structure, extinction, and stability of flames, and flame chemistry."
