Henri Pitot (May 3, 1695 – December 27, 1771) was a French hydraulic engineer
and the inventor of the pitot tube.
He became interested in studying the flow of water at various depths and
was responsible for disproving the prevailing belief that speed of water
increases with depth.
In a pitot tube, the height of the fluid column is proportional to the
square of the velocity. This relationship was discovered intuitively by Henri
Pitot in 1732, when he was assigned the task of measuring the flow in the river
Seine.
He rose to fame with the design of Aqueduc
de Saint-Clément near Montpellier and the extension of Pont du Gard in Nîmes. In 1724, he became a member of the French Academy of
Sciences, and in 1740 a fellow of the Royal Society.
