-'''Joseph Valentin Boussinesq''' ([[13 March]] [[1842]] - [[1929]]) was a French physicist who made significant contributions to the theory of hydrodynamics, vibration, light, and heat.
-Boussinesq was born in [[Saint-André-de-Sangonis]], [[France]].
-The word "turbulence" is owed in large part to Boussinesq.  Indeed, Boussinesq was intrigued by the recent work pursued in Scotland by [[Osborne Reynolds]], who talked about "sinuous motion" and wrote a paper using the most expressive phrase "écoulement tourbillonnant et tumultueux", which was abridged by one of his followers to "régime turbulent", hence turbulence.
