Moritz Weber

Moritz Weber (1871–1951), was a professor of naval mechanics at Technische Hochschule Charlottenburg. The dimensionless numbers Reynolds number, and Froude number was coined by Moritz Weber. Moreover, the dimensionless number Weber number was coined after him. Weber was also responsible in coining the term similitude to describe model studies that were scaled both geometrically and using dimensionless parameters for forces.
