Vladimir Mitrofanovich Makkaveev joined in 1914 the Saint Petersburg Institute of Communication Technology. After graduation in 1921 he worked for the Department of Port Investigations, the Northeast Steam Navigation Agency, the Leningrad Bureau for the Dneiper hydroelectric power plant, and the State Hydrologic Institute. In 1928, he developed a device for the lock analysis later widely used in the Soviet Union. Makkaveev investigated in 1930 hydrodynamic processes during the filling of lock chambers and in parallel established the principles of the turbulent diffusion theory by formulating a set of differential equations. Around 1940, Makkaveev took interest in wave hydraulics and presented an equation for wave energy. He also published results for the headloss coefficients in pipe hydraulics.

\

In 1940, Makkaveev presented a textbook on hydraulics, a book that included a number of novel concepts in hydraulics. In total, he published some 80 papers in Soviet technical journals. In parallel to industrial works he was also a Lecturer, from 1929 at Leningrad University and continued there at the Institute of Water Transportation LVIT. In 1938, he was appointed director of the Department of Hydraulics of LVIT until retirement in 1966. He was also the chairman of the Leningrad branch of the Scientific-Technical Society of Water Transport, and a Board Member of the All-Union Society of Water Transport. He participated in the Congresses of the International Association of Hydraulic Research IAHR and was an active Member of the Editorial Board of the journal Gidrotekhnicheskoe Stroitel'stvo, translated from 1967 in English.
