ABSTRACT

This article highlights the theoretical and experimental research of Léopold Escande, conducted in hydraulic engineering. He is considered one of the great European leaders in this field from 1930 to around 1970, when he retired. Numerous students have profited from his knowledge, aware of a person treating them like their father. A number of these students and later collaborators are presented in this historical work. The main topics of Escande's research are discussed to allow a current examination of his results. His input into the IAHR as its President is also described. In addition, his extensive bibliography is presented along with comments on his method of work. A short biography of Escande evidences his excellent connection to the national and international hydraulics community, and sheds light on his successes both in his professional and in his private life.

摘要

本文重点介绍了 Léopold Escande 在水利工程中进行的理论和实验研究。从 1930 年到 1970 年左右退休，他被认为是该领域的欧洲伟大领袖之一。许多学生从他的知识中受益，意识到有人像对待父亲一样对待他们。这些学生和后来的合作者中的一些人出现在这部历史著作中。讨论了埃斯坎德研究的主要主题，以便对他的结果进行当前检查。还描述了他作为 IAHR 主席对 IAHR 的投入。此外，还介绍了他广泛的参考书目以及对其工作方法的评论。Escande 的简短传记证明了他与国家和国际液压界的良好联系，
