Aleksandr Yakovlevich Milovich was a well known and prominent scientist and an expert in hydraulics, hydraulic engineering and hydropower applications. Milovich made his degrees in Moscow and then there joined the All-Union Scientific Institute of Hydraulic Engineering VNIIGiM. In parallel, he was a hydraulics professor at the Moscow Hydro-Improvement Institute and headed there the chair of hydraulics. Milovich founded a hydraulic laboratory which was used for experimental research. He had a large number of post-graduates that defended their PhD theses under his supervision. His professional colleagues included Ivan Avgustovich Time (1838-1920), Georgy Fedorovich Proskura (1876-1958) and Nikolai Nikolaevich Kovalev (1908-2003).

\

The hydraulic laboratory designed of Milovich counted among the first in Russia. He there investigated a number of hydraulic structures starting from the 1910s. Milovich also contributed to the Russian technical literature with works on fundamental fluid dynamics, the interaction between bodies and fluid flow, a theory of flow division and flow combination both in pressurized and in open channel flow arrangements, and on bend flow applied to rivers.
