Henry Selby Hele-Shaw (1854–1941) was a British engineer and inventor best known for his work in fluid mechanics and for creating the Hele-Shaw apparatus, a device used to study the flow of fluids. The Hele-Shaw cell consists of two closely spaced parallel plates, which allows for the observation of two-dimensional flows and is useful for visualizing various fluid dynamics phenomena, such as the behavior of viscous fluids and the study of stability and pattern formation in fluid flows.
