Joseph Valentin Boussinesq (1842–1929) was a French mathematician and physicist known for his contributions to fluid mechanics and applied mathematics. He is particularly recognized for his work on heat conduction, hydrodynamics, and wave motion. One of his notable contributions is the Boussinesq approximation, which simplifies the equations of fluid flow by assuming small temperature variations in buoyancy-driven flows.
