ABSTRACT
Albring contributed to fluid machinery such as with a paper in which the boundary layer equations valid for rotating elements are transformed to a plane movement. He was particularly known for the book Angewandte Strömungslehre first published in 1961, in which the principles of fluid mechanics were clearly presented. Albring was awarded the Nationalpreis of the German Democratic Republic in 1972; he was a Corresponding Member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences from 1959, and promoted to Member in 1961. He held Honorary Doctorates from the Polytechnic Institute of Leningrad from 1984, and the Technical University of Budapest from 1991. Albring was associated with the German journal Maschinenbautechnik throughout his stay in Dresden.
