Coleman Dupont Donaldson (September 22, 1922 – August 7, 2009) was a fluid physicist and aeronautical engineer who specialized in turbulent flow and computational fluid dynamics. He made broad contributions during his career in turbulent transport, supersonic flow, and armor.[3]

In 1942 he received a bachelor's degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Afterwards he worked for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory.[1] While serving in the Army Air Corps in 1945–1946 he was assigned to Bell Aircraft, where he worked on the development of the X-1 and X-2.[2] Aftwards he worked at NACA again and completed his doctorate at Princeton under Luigi Crocco in 1957. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1979. He was a member of the Du Pont family and a grandson of T. Coleman du Pont.[3]
