Alexander Nikuradse (1895–1978) was a notable Georgian-born engineer and scientist primarily recognized for his contributions to the field of fluid mechanics and turbulence. He is best known for his pioneering work in the area of turbulence in pipe flow, particularly through his studies on friction coefficients in turbulent flow. One of his significant contributions is the "Nikuradse pipe roughness" concept, which describes how the roughness of pipe surfaces affects flow resistance.
