Bazin, Henri-Émile
born Jan. 10, 1829, Nancy, France
died Feb. 7, 1917, Dijon

French engineer.

As an assistant to H.-P.-G. Darcy (1803–1858), he completed his program of tests on resistance to water flow in channels after Darcy's death, producing the classic study of the subject. He later studied the problem of wave propagation (see wave) and the contraction of fluid flowing through an orifice. In 1854 he enlarged the Canal de Bourgogne and made it profitable for commercial navigation. In 1867 he suggested the use of pumps for dredging rivers, leading to the construction of the first suction dredgers.

▪ French engineer
born Jan. 10, 1829, Nancy, France
died Feb. 7, 1917, Dijon

      engineer and member of the French Corps des Ponts et Chaussées (“Corps of Bridges and Highways”) whose contributions to hydraulics and fluid mechanics include the classic study of water flow in open channels.

      Bazin worked as an assistant to the noted hydraulic engineer H.-P.-G. Darcy (1803–58), whose program of tests on resistance to water flow in channels Bazin finished after Darcy died. The results were published in 1865.

      Bazin then carried his study over into the problem of wave propagation and the contraction of fluid flowing through an orifice. In 1854 he enlarged the Canal de Bourgogne and made it profitable for commercial navigation. In 1867 he suggested the use of pumps for dredging rivers, leading to the construction of the first suction dredgers.

      Bazin became chief engineer of the Corps des Ponts et Chaussées in 1875 and was placed in charge of the Bourgogne canal system; he became inspector general in 1886. He retired in 1900 and was elected to the French Academy of Sciences in 1913.
