Leonid Ivanovich Sedov (Russian: Леонид Иванович Седов; 14 November 1907, Rostov-on-Don – 5 September 1999, Moscow) was a Russian physicist who worked as an engineer in the former Soviet space program.

Taylor–von Neumann–Sedov blast wave (or sometimes referred to as Sedov–von Neumann–Taylor blast wave) refers to a blast wave induced by a strong explosion. The blast wave was described by a self-similar solution independently by G. I. Taylor , John von Neumann and Leonid Sedov during World War II .

Dec 15, 2024 · Dimensional analysis and similarity theory are essential in physics and engineering, particularly for designing and testing complex structures like airplanes, ships, and dams. These theories guide the conditions for model experiments and identify key parameters for fundamental effects and operations.

350 L.I. SEDOV may serve as an indication for the expediency of introducing consecutive derivatives with respect to time. Nevertheless, let us mention, that the introduction of functional constraints in kinetic theories and in the theory of heredity at once greatly complicates the system of equations for processes of general form.

Similarity and Dimensional Methods in Mechanics provides a complete development of the basic concepts of dimensional analysis and similarity methods, illustrated by applications to a wide variety of problems in mechanics.
