Eckart Heinz Meiburg (born 1959) is a German-American professor of mechanical engineering at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

[1] His research focuses on using computational fluid dynamics to study phenomena including sediment transport[2] in gravity and turbidity currents, double diffusive instabilities, and particle-laden flows.

[3][4] Meiburg did his undergraduate studies University of Karlsruhe, earning a Diplom-Ing.

In 2000 he moved to University of California Santa Barbara as a professor of mechanical engineering, where he currently works.

He was the chair of the mechanical engineering department from 2003 to 2007, and is currently a distinguished professor.
