Moritz Weber (1871–1951), was a professor of naval mechanics at Technische Hochschule Charlottenburg (today Technische Universität Berlin).[1] The dimensionless numbers Reynolds number (named after the British scientist and mathematician Osborne Reynolds), and Froude number (named after the British engineer William Froude) was coined by Moritz Weber.[2][3] Moreover, the dimensionless number Weber number was coined after him.[1] Weber was also responsible in coining the term similitude to describe model studies that were scaled both geometrically and using dimensionless parameters for forces.[1]
