曾经发过几个帖子说起过帕克。下面的帖子转自上链接的117楼:

NASA将向太阳发射探测器 (2017-6-1)
http://www.cfluid.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=166362
据英国《每日邮报》报道,NASA近日在芝加哥大学举行的一次电视直播节目中宣布将于2018年夏季向太阳发射一颗探测器,用于探测太阳外层大气的气象活动。这颗探测器原名“太阳探测器加(SPP, Solar Probe Plus)”,后来决定更名为“帕克太阳探测器(PSP,Parker Solar Probe)”,用于表彰芝加哥大学的帕克教授(Prof. Parker)在1958年首次提出太阳风概念。NASA还在直播中将一个PSP探测器模型赠送给帕克教授作为纪念。

The above news report mentioned a name (帕克), E. N. Parker, who was somewhat related to S. Chandrasekhar mentioned in the previous two posts through the following interesting street story or anecdote.
It was said that E. N. Parker submitted his paper on solar wind to “Astrophysical Journal” but the paper was strongly criticized and rejected by the reviewers who were not only experts but also well established in the field at the time. Parker's explanation to the solar wind was based on fluid mechanics and was essentially based on the simple Bernoulli equation. The following monograph also described Parker's theory:
Parker, E. N., 1963: Interplanetary Dynamical Processes. Interscience Publishers, New York, 272 pp.
Bernoulli equation has also been discussed in the following post on this forum:

The criticisms essentially said that Parker's assumption of considering the interplanetary gases as continuum or fluid was too naive and incorrect. Learning his paper being rejected, Parker directly went to Chandrasekhar's office, explained his theory face-to-face to Chandrasekhar who was an editor of “Astrophysical Journal”, and complained being suppressed by well-established peers in the field. At the time, Chandrasekhar sympathized with Parker's experience because Chandrasekhar himself once was also strongly criticized and ridiculed by a well-established peer (Arthur Eddington) when he was young. As a result, Chandrasekhar (as an editor) made a personal/final decision to accept the publication of Parker's paper right in his office. Parker and his theory on solar wind also became famous and were gradually accepted by more and more people in the field.
I was never able to find out for sure who might be the reviewers who rejected and ridiculed Parker's 1958 paper. However, based on the science background, the research styles and the works they did around the time, I suspected J. W. Chamberlain and S. Chapman could be potential candidates to the event I described above. I have following books by these two authors:
Chamberlain, J. W., 1961: Physics of the Aurora and Airglow. Academic Press, New York, 704 pp.
Chamberlain, J. W., 1978: Theory of Planetary Atmospheres: An Introduction to Their Physics and Chemistry. Academic Press, 330 pp.
Chamberlain, J. W., and D. M. Hunten, 1987: Theory of Planetary Atmospheres: An Introduction to Their Physics and Chemistry. Second Edition. Academic Press, 481 pp.
Chapman, S., and T. G. Cowling, 1970: The Mathematical Theory of Non-uniform Gases. Third Edition. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 422 pp.
Chapman, S., and R. S. Lindzen, 1970: Atmospheric Tides. D. Reidel Publ., Dordrecht, Holland, 200 pp.
