Konstantin Ivanovich Strakhovich (Oct 1, 1904 – November 21, 1969) was a Soviet fluid dynamicist and hydraulic engineer.

Education Konstantin Ivanovich Strakhovich was lettered in the Maths and Mechanics Section at the Saint Petersburg State University (then known as Petrograd University) . He continued his studies at the State Hydrological Institute specializing in gas kinetics and hydrokinetics. In 1925, his interest in hydropower lead him to Home Asia where he investigated its feasibleness in different locations. In 1928 he submitted his PhD dissertation on the hydromechanics of rigid bodies.Hydraulicians in Europe 1800-2000, Vol. 2, Willi H. Hager, CRC Press, Mar 2014.

Political Captive

Strakhovich is mentioned in the book Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as having a piece in prison house written down in his confiscated technology notebooks from memory. In 1952, he was sent to exile in Karaganda. In August 1955 doom against him was invalid. After this, became the head of Heat Engine room at the Leningrad Polytechnic institute Plant and a professor of cryogenic technology in the section of Saint Petersburg Scientific Plant of the Refrigeration Diligence.
