Louis Rosenhead was from 1933 to 1973 professor of mathematics at Liverpool University, where he served as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor from 1961 to 1965. In addition, he served from 1939 to 1967 as a Member in various governmental and scientific committees. He was elected Commander of the Order of the British Empire OBE and was decorated Life Governor of the Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa in 1978. Rosenhead was also a Fellow of the Royal Society from 1946.
\
Rosenhead was one of the collaborators of Modern developments in fluid dynamics, published in 1938 by Sydney Goldstein (1903-1989), summarizing the findings up to the 1930s in this branch of applied mathematics, thus corresponding to a work expanding earlier developments of Horace Lamb (1849-1934). He had previously contributed to the knowledge of the von Karman vortex street and in 1934 had translated the classic text of Oskar Tietjens (1893-1971) on Prandtl's Lecture notes. Rosenhead was a collaborator of the six volumes work Aerodynamic theory by Durand published in 1936. In 1963 he presented his Laminar boundary layers, a review of the boundary layer theory from the beginnings of Ludwig Prandtl (1875-1953) in 1904 until the early 1960s. He therein made an account of their development, structure and stability in incompressible fluids.
