Norman J.
Zabusky was an American physicist, who is noted for the discovery of the soliton in the Korteweg–de Vries equation, in work completed with Martin Kruskal.
This result early in his career was followed by an extensive body of work in computational fluid dynamics, which led him in the latter years of his career to an examination of the importance of visualization in this field.
In fact, he coined the term visiometrics to describe the process of using computer-aided visualization to guide one towards quantitative results.
