Josef Kozeny

Josef Alexander Kozeny (born February 25, 1889 in Josefstadt , Bohemia , † April 19, 1967 in Vienna ) was an Austrian hydraulic engineer.

Life

Kozeny, the son of an official, attended the Landwehr cadet school in Vienna from 1903 to 1906. He studied civil engineering at the German Technical University in Prague , where he passed the second state examination in 1911. There he was also assistant at the chair for hydraulic engineering and melioration in 1910 . In 1911 he went to the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, where he was an engineer ("constructor"). He was employed at the regional hydrographic office in Prague on the Elbe regulation and on the construction of dams in the Almtal . He was a soldier in the First World War. In 1918 he passed the civil engineering examination and returned to the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences. In 1919 he was at Friedrich Schaffernak at the Technical University of Vienna doctorate with a thesis about the turbulent flow and 1921 at the University of Agricultural Sciences in hydraulic habilitation (with the work: The river flows ). In 1922 he became a professor in Dorpat , but returned in 1924 as an associate professor at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences and took over lectures on hydraulics and hydrology. In 1929 he qualified as a professor at the Vienna University of Applied Sciences for melioration. From 1930 he held lectures at the TH Vienna. In 1935 he was entrusted as an honorary lecturer with the holding of "Hydraulic Engineering III - Plants for Urban Civil Engineering and Agricultural Hydraulic Engineering" (VO + UE), "Encyclopedia of Engineering" for architecture and surveying at the Vienna University of Technology . On January 1, 1940, Kozenys was appointed associate professor for “hydraulic engineering, urban civil engineering and ldw. Hydraulic engineering ". On February 1, 1941, he became a full professor at the Vienna University of Technology. In 1945 he was formally removed from his position as a full professor because he was a member of the NSDAP ; but he remained in office. From 1948 he was considered denazified. Because of the emphasis on hydraulics, the name was changed in 1949 to the "Chair for Hydraulics, Urban Water Management, Traffic Water Engineering and Agricultural Hydraulic Engineering". In 1951 the chair was renamed the institute. In 1959 he retired. His successor was Werner Kresser .

His textbook on hydraulics was a standard work. He is known for the Carman-Kozeny equation . He also dealt with constructive hydraulic engineering, for example planning a canal connection from Vienna to Trieste.

He had been a corresponding member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 1958 and was awarded an honorary doctorate from the TH Munich in 1965 .
