Abstract
Gino Moretti was an exceptionally multi-talented man. My recollections of him can only be but one piece of a complex mosaic of him. He was extremely respectful for the physics of fluids and intolerant for sloppy or wasteful numerical simulations of fluid phenomena. To get a complete portrait of Gino Moretti, if it is at all possible, would take an extraordinary large number of people who interacted with him from diverse viewpoints. Most of my observations about this great man come from attending meetings where he spoke on computational fluid dynamics.
