A prolific author of texts in his field, his two-volume treatise, ''The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow'', published in 1953 and 1954, is considered a classic. His 1961 book ''Shape and Flow: The Fluid Dynamics of Drag'' explained boundary layer phenomena and drag in simple, non-mathematical terms. In the 1960s, he began to conduct research in fluid flow in the body.
In 1961, he founded the National Council for Fluid Mechanics Films (NCFMF)[http://web.mit.edu/fluids/www/Shapiro/ncfmf.html], in cooperation with the Educational Development Center. The NCFMF released a series of 39 films, which have since then been widely used in the teaching of Fluid Mechanics [http://web.mit.edu/hml/ncfmf.html].
He was elected to [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] in 1952, the [[National Academy of Science]] in 1967, and [[National Academy of Engineering]] in 1974. He was awarded the Benjamin Garver Lamme Award by the [[American Society of Engineering Education]] in 1977. He was awarded the Fluids Engineering Award in 1977 and the [[Drucker Medal]] in 1999 by the [[American Society of Mechanical Engineers]]. He was awarded honorary Doctor of Science
