Wilfrid Noel Bond (27 December 1897 – 25 August 1937) was an English physicist and engineer known for his work in fluid mechanics. He received his Doctor of Science from the University of London, and was a lecturer at the University of Reading from 1921 until his death.[1][2] The Bond number, used in fluid mechanics to characterize the shape of bubbles and drops, is named after him.[3]
