William Froude (/ˈfrd/;[1] 28 November 1810 in Devon[2] – 4 May 1879 in Simonstown, Cape Colony) was an English engineer, hydrodynamicist and naval architect. He was the first to formulate reliable laws for the resistance that water offers to ships (such as the hull speed equation) and for predicting their stability.
