Dimitri Pavlovitch Riabouchinsky (Russian: Дми́трий Па́влович Рябуши́нский,6 November 1882– 22 August 1962) was a Russian fluid dynamicist noted for his discovery of the Riabouchinsky solid technique.[2] With the aid of Nikolay Zhukovsky he founded the Institute of Aerodynamics in 1904, the first in Europe.[3] He also independently discovered equivalent results to the Buckingham Pi Theorem in 1911.

Riabouchinsky left Russia following the October Revolution and his short-term arrest, spending the rest of his life in Paris. He never accepted the French citizenship and, instead, used his Nansen passport up until death.[3][4] He was a member of the Moscow State University, the University of Paris, the French Academy of Sciences as well as one of the co-founders of the Russian Higher Technical School in France.[3]

Over 200 scientific works were published during his lifetime.[5] He was an Invited Speaker of the ICM in 1920 at Strasbourg,[6] in 1928 at Bologna,[7] and in 1932 at Zurich.[8]
